Question

The graph shows how the mass of copper

Answer 1

Answer: 8 1/4g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the graph :

The rate of change in the mass of copper with respect to volume :

To obtain this, we find the slope or gradient of the graph:

Gradient = Δy / Δx = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Drawing a right angled triangle on the anybpart of the line of best fit:

y2 = 40 ; x2 = 4.75 ; y1 = 16 ; x1 = 2

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (40 -16) / (4.75 - 2)

= 24 / 2.75

= 2400/275

= 8.727 g/cm^3

Due to unit and graph scale,, the slope is closest to 8 1/4g/cm³
