Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Given vectors A = (3, 4) and B = (6, 8), determine if they are parallel. Show your reasoning.
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate a vector C that is parallel to D = (5, -10) and is a scalar multiple of it with scalar k=3.
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a vector E on the grid that is parallel to vector F = (2, 1) and is 4 times longer.
[2 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of y=2x and draw a vector that is parallel to the vector (1, 2) on the grid.
[3 marks]
5.
Prove that vectors G = (x, y) and H = (2x, 2y) are parallel for all real x, y.
[3 marks]
6.
A ship travels from point A to point B, represented by vector AB = (6, 9). If another ship travels along a vector parallel to AB but with a different magnitude, what could its vector be?
[2 marks]
7.
Identify which of the following pairs of vectors are parallel: (2, -4) and (1, -2); (3, 5) and (6, 10); (0, 7) and (7, 0).
[1 mark]
8.
A vector J = (x, y) is parallel to vector K = (4, 8) and passes through the origin. Find the possible values of (x, y).
[2 marks]
9.
A drone moves along vector L = (7, 14). If it speeds up and moves along a parallel vector, what are two possible vectors it could travel along?
[2 marks]
10.
A student claims vectors (5, 10) and (3, 6) are parallel. Is this correct? Justify your answer.
[3 marks]
11.
Identify and correct the mistake in this statement: 'Vectors (2, 4) and (4, 8) are not parallel because their components are different.'
[3 marks]
