Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Guided Practice • Work with your teacher or a partner. Discuss the model or strategy, then complete each problem.

Sample questions

1. For y = 2x, make a table at x = 0, 1, 2, then plot the pairs. Explain how the graph agrees with the equation.
2. A table for y = 3x includes (0,0), (1,3), and (2,7). Find the incorrect pair, correct it and plot the corrected table.
3. A rule y = 2x relates packs x to pencils y. Could the point (2,4) represent this rule? Verify with the equation and explain the coordinate order.
4. A rule y = 3x relates packs x to pencils y. Could the point (2,6) represent this rule? Verify with the equation and explain the coordinate order.
5. The plotted points show hours on the x-axis and miles on the y-axis. Read the ordered pairs, write a distance rule, and explain which quantity depends on the other.
6. A rule y = 1x relates packs x to pencils y. Could the point (2,2) represent this rule? Verify with the equation and explain the coordinate order.
