1. The graph of $y = 6x$ passes through $(k, 2)$. Find the value of $k$.

  1. 3
  2. 12
  3. 4
  4. 2
Show answer

Answer: A

$2 = 6k \implies 2k = 6 \implies k = 3$.

2. What is the shape of the graph of a quadratic function $y = ax2 + bx + c$ when $a > 0$?

  1. U-shape curve
  2. Inverted U-shape curve
  3. Straight line
  4. Hyperbola
Show answer

Answer: A

When the coefficient of $x2$ ($a$) is positive, the quadratic graph opens upwards (U-shape).

3. Which equation represents a linear function?

  1. $y = 2x + 1$
  2. $y = x2 - 3$
  3. $y = x3 + 2$
  4. $y = 4x$
Show answer

Answer: A

A linear function has a highest power of $x$ equal to 1, forming a straight line graph.

4. Given the function $y = x2 + 2x - 3$, find the y-intercept of the graph.

  1. (0, -3)
  2. (0, 2)
  3. (0, 3)
  4. (-3, 0)
Show answer

Answer: A

The y-intercept occurs when $x = 0$: $y = (0)2 + 2(0) - 3 = -3$.

5. If $y = 2^x$, calculate the value of $y$ when $x = 3$.

  1. 8
  2. 6
  3. 9
  4. 5
Show answer

Answer: A

$y = 23 = 8$.

6. Given $y = 12x$, calculate $y$ when $x = -4$.

  1. -3
  2. 3
  3. -4
  4. 48
Show answer

Answer: A

$y = 12-4 = -3$.

7. A line passes through $(0, 4)$ and $(2, 10)$. Which linear function matches this line?

  1. $y = 3x + 4$
  2. $y = 2x + 4$
  3. $y = 4x + 2$
  4. $y = 5x - 1$
Show answer

Answer: A

Gradient $m = 10 - 42 - 0 = 62 = 3$. Y-intercept is 4. Equation is $y = 3x + 4$.

8. Given $y = x2 - 4$, find the value of $y$ when $x = -3$.

  1. 5
  2. -13
  3. 13
  4. -5
Show answer

Answer: A

$y = (-3)2 - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5$.

9. Given $y = 2x3$, find $y$ when $x = -2$.

  1. -16
  2. 16
  3. -8
  4. 8
Show answer

Answer: A

$y = 2(-2)3 = 2(-8) = -16$.

10. When scale on x-axis is 2 cm to 1 unit, what physical length represents 3 units?

  1. 6 cm
  2. 3 cm
  3. 1.5 cm
  4. 12 cm
Show answer

Answer: A

$3 units × 2 cm/unit = 6 cm$.
