Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (3, 7) with a slope of 2 in the form y = mx + c.
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the value of y when x = 4 for the equation y = 3x + 2.
[2 marks]
3.
Given y = -2x + 5, find y when x = -1.
[2 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of y = 2x + 3 on the grid provided.
[3 marks]
5.
Construct a line with a slope of -1 passing through the point (2, 4). Write its equation in y = mx + c form.
[3 marks]
6.
Solve the system: y = 2x + 1 and y = -x + 4. Find the point of intersection.
[3 marks]
7.
A taxi charges $3 per mile plus a fixed fee of $5. Write an equation for the total cost C in terms of miles x. Then, calculate the cost for 10 miles.
