Linear Law Practice Paper 2

This document contains 4 practice problems involving linear relationships between variables x and y. For each problem: 1) A table of x and y values is given along with the linear equation relating them. 2) Participants are asked to plot the variables on a graph and draw the line of best fit. 3) Using the line of best fit, participants must determine the values of constants in the linear equations. The problems cover techniques like determining constants from linear graphs, identifying incorrectly recorded data, and using graphs to find variable values when one variable is given.

equation y = pk x
, where p and k are constants.
x 1 4 9 16 25 36
y 1.80 2.70 4.05 6.08 9.11 13.67
