Free practice quizzes › NAPLAN Numeracy Year 9 quiz › Linear & non-linear relationships
NAPLAN reports a Year 9 result in four proficiency levels, and the difference between Developing and Strong is usually a handful of specific skills. Linear & non-linear relationships is one of the areas where our tutors see that gap most often. Use this single-topic quiz to test it directly, then the mixed NAPLAN quiz to see how it holds up alongside everything else.
A short orientation first. Year 9 graphing covers gradient and intercept, sketching straight lines, midpoint and distance between points, parallel and perpendicular lines, and a first look at parabolas, circles and exponential curves.
Our tutors wrote and checked these questions against the Victorian Curriculum, which is why the wording and the difficulty match what a Year 9 student meets at school.
If your child gets a question wrong here, it is worth checking whether one of these is behind it. They are the linear and non-linear relationships misconceptions RHZ tutors correct most often with Year 9 students:
Each of these is fixable in a session or two once it has been named, which is why the results panel below shows the correct answer and an explanation rather than just a score.
Practice works when it is short, regular and specific. For linear and non-linear relationships, our tutors suggest:
For Years 7 to 10, practise the way a test is sat: mixed questions, time limits, full working. Then mark it honestly and re-do the errors.
Every set on this page is a seeded selection of 10 from the 14 linear and non-linear relationships questions that pass our quality gate. A different seed gives a different set, and there are many more combinations than any one student will need. The correct answers never appear in the page source; the browser asks our server for them after you press Mark my answers.
Because every question here is on linear and non-linear relationships, a low score is a clear signal and a high score is genuinely reassuring for this topic. What it cannot tell you is whether the other Year 9 NAPLAN Numeracy topics are equally secure, or how far above the year level the student can go; the free Skills Check covers both.

Because a single-topic set is the most precise free check available: if the score is low, the gap is in linear and non-linear relationships and nowhere else. There are 14 eligible questions on this topic in our Year 9 NAPLAN Numeracy bank, so several different sets are available before any repeat.
From RHZ Tutoring's own Year 9 NAPLAN Numeracy question bank, written to the Victorian Curriculum, checked by a tutor and passed through an automated quality gate. The same bank feeds our tutoring sessions and the free Skills Check. The questions on this page sit at the easy and at-level tiers.
Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in linear and non-linear relationships are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
