points.

2 For the rule y = 2x - 1 construct a table and draw a graph.

3 Decide if the points (1, 3) and (- 2, - 4) lie on the graph of y = 3x .

4 Find the rule for this table of values

5 Find the rule for this table of values

6 Find the rule for this graph by first constructing a table of (x , y) values. Write the
rule in words.

11 Plot points to draw the graph of y = x2 - 2 using a table.


ANSWERS
1. 2.

3 a) y = 3x (1, 3) b) y = 3x (-2, -4)


y=3 y = -4
3x = 3 x 1 3x = 3 x -2
=3 = -6

SAME The point lies on the line NOT THE SAME The point does not lie on the
line
4 y = 3x – 2

5 y = -2x + 1

y=x–2 Rule in words: To find a y value, start with x then subtract 2.

7 a) x = 2 b) x = 0.5 c) -2.5

8 a) 4 – x = 6 2x + 1 = -3 b) (- 2, 6) (- 1, 5) (1, 3) (4, 0) c) (- 2, - 3) (0, 1) (1, 3 ) (2, 5)


d) Substitute (1, 3) into both equations and get 3 for both e) x = 1
9

c) d = 4t
d) The distance is 10 km after 2.5 hours of walking
e) It takes 2 hours to travel 8 km

10 a) b)

c) v = -50t + 300
d) The volume of water in the dish is 90 millilitres after 4.2 hours.
