REASONING
14 Annabel believes that the rule for the table of values below is y=3 x−5 . 4

Is Annabel correct? Explain your answer. Can a linear relationship describe this table of
values? Why or why not?

No, the relationship is not linear, as the exists no linear pattern.


y=3 (−1 )−5=−8which does not equal -2. A 1 for answer, A 3 for reasoning, and
possible working.

PROBLEM SOLVING

11
15 Two runners are jogging across an oval. The equations y = x + 3 and y = 2x – 1 can 4
describe their respective paths. Will their paths cross? If yes, at what point? Show all
working. (You can solve this graphically or algebraically; we have provided a graph in
case you want to solve it graphically.)

(A 1) for each line correct, (A 1) Yes, (A 1) for correct point. (Follow through marks
accepted)

16 Omar and his sister are training for a cycling competition. They know they can ride 25 4
km in an hour (on average).

a. Complete the following table of values.


Time (hours) 0 25 50 75 100 125

Distance (km) 0 625 1250 1875 2500 3125

(A 1) correct table of values

b. Identify whether this table forms a linear pattern. Explain your reasoning.

Yes, there is a clear pattern in both the x and y values. (A 1) reason

c. Complete the equation below.

Distance = ___25___ × time +¿ ___0_______

(A 1)

d. Use your equation to find out how far they would have ridden after 5 hrs.
