Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Find the equation of a line with a gradient of 3 passing through the point (2, 5).
[2 marks]2.
A line is parallel to the line y = -2x + 4 and passes through the point (1, -3). Write its equation.
[2 marks]3.
Construct the equation of a line with a gradient of 0.5 and y-intercept at 2.
[2 marks]4.
A line has the equation y = 4x + 3. Find the equation of a line perpendicular to it passing through (0, 1).
[3 marks]5.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following line equation: y = 2x + 5, given the line passes through (1, 7) with a gradient of 2.
[3 marks]6.
A student claims the line y = -x + 4 is parallel to y = -x + 7. Is this correct? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]7.
Using the point (3, 2) and gradient 0.75, write the equation of the line.
[2 marks]8.
Derive the equation of a line perpendicular to y = 5x - 2 and passing through (4, 1).
[3 marks]9.
Plot the graph of y=2x on the grid provided. (Construct the line accordingly.)
[2 marks]10.
A line with equation y = -0.5x + 4 is moved parallel downward by 3 units. Write the new equation.
[2 marks]11.
Identify the error in this student's work: They state the line passing through (2,3) with slope 2 is y=2x+1.
(Work: y - 3 = 2(x - 2) → y - 3 = 2x - 4 → y=2x - 1).
