Question 1 • Mathematics III

The pressure of a fixed volume of a certain gas is related to its temperature as shown in the table. Temperature of Gas vs. Pressure Temperature (in degrees Celsius) Pressure (in pascals) 44 91 52 93 60 95 68 97 76 99 Which type of function best models the data in the table?

Answer
A
logarithmic
B
linear
C
exponential
D
quadratic

Explanation

Each time the temperature increases by 8°C, the pressure increases by 2 pascals. A constant rate of change indicates a linear relationship, so a linear function best models the data.
