Question 6 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 CR

The pressure of a fixed volume of a certain gas is related to its temperature as shown in the table below.Temperature of Gas vs. Pressure Temperature (in degrees Celsius)Pressure (in pascals)44915293609568977699Which type of function best models the data in the table?

Answer
A
exponential
B
logarithmic
C
linear
D
quadratic

Explanation

For a fixed volume of gas, pressure increases in proportion to its absolute temperature. Since absolute temperature is Celsius temperature plus 273, pressure versus Celsius temperature follows a linear relationship, with a constant offset. So the best model is linear, not exponential, logarithmic, or quadratic.
