Grade 8 Graphs Quiz

Tables, Ordered Pairs and Drawing Graphs

What this quiz covers

grade8_graphs_quiz2 draws its questions at random from a bank of 10 questions, with full worked solutions for every one.


Worked examples

A few of the question types, with full solutions, so you know what to expect.

Use \(y=2x+1\). What is the value of y when \(x=-2\)?

\(y = 2x+1\)

\(y = 2(-2)+1 = -4+1\)

Use \(y=x+3\). If \(x=-2\), what is the correct ordered pair?

  1. (-2;1)
  2. (1;-2)
  3. (-2;-1)
  4. (2;1)

Answer: (-2;1)

\(y = x+3 = -2+3 = 1\)

\(\text{Ordered pairs are written } (x;y)\text{, with x first.}\)

Use \(y=x^2+2\). What is the value of y when \(x=-1\)?

\(y = x^2+2\)

\(y = (-1)^2+2 = 1+2\)

Is the relationship \(y=2x+1\) linear or non-linear?

  1. Linear
  2. Non-linear
  3. Discrete
  4. Continuous only

Answer: Linear

\(\text{Plotting the ordered pairs of } y=2x+1 \text{ gives points that form a straight line.}\)

Is the relationship \(y=x^2+2\) linear or non-linear?

  1. Linear
  2. Non-linear
  3. Discrete
  4. Continuous only

Answer: Non-linear

\(\text{Plotting the ordered pairs of } y=x^2+2 \text{ gives points that form a curve, not a straight line.}\)
