Question

Temperature (C*) Volume (m3)
-100 173
-50 223
0 273
50 323
100 373

Assuming the relationship between the temperature (t) and the volume(v) is linear, find the equation that represents the data in the table. show all of your work for each part of your equation.

Answer 1

so you know your formula is in slope-intercept form, y = mx+b, where x = temperature, and y = volume. Then use the point 0,273. Here, 273 = 0m + b. so b = 273. Thus, your equation

Volume = Temperature + 273. hope this helps!

Answer 2

Temperature + 273
