the volume of a gas in a container at a constant temperature varies inversely as the pressure. the volume is 23 cubic centimeters at a pressure of 9 pounds. use a
proportion to find the pressure when the volume is 44 cubic centimeters.
pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form or

Let

y -----> the volume of a gas in cubic centimeters

x ----> the pressure in lb/cm^2

we have

For y=23, x=9

Find the value of k

----->

so

The equation that represent the proportion is

For y=44

substitute in the equation and solve for x

last one.

step-by-step explanation:

last one.

generally speaking, the others follow some sort of pattern that correlates to either linear (looks like a straight line) or sinusoidal (looks like an s).

the last one is just a random cloud of points that doesn't correlate to any particular known order.
