In this lab you will use excel to plot a distance x on the vertical axis and the inverse of mass m on the horizontal axis. that is, a plot of x versus 1 m . plotted this way, the data falls on a straight line. if x is in centimeters and m is in grams, what are the units of the slope of the line?

When you find the gradient (slope) of a graph, you divide a change of value on the vertical-axis (the 'rise') by a change of value on the horizontal axis (the 'run').  

Gradient = rise/run.  

The vertical axis has units of cm, so the rise in in cm.  

The horizontal axis has units of 1/grams = g⁻¹, so the rise is in g⁻¹.  

units for slip are  

rise/run ≡ cm/g⁻¹ ≡ cm.g

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

y/x of point b= y/x of point a
