<u>Solution-</u>
The atmospheric pressure at sea level = 14.7 lb/in²
Pressure gets reduced by half for each 3.6 miles we move up.
Taking,
x = miles above the sea-level
y = pressure in lb/in²
0 14.7
3.6 7.35
7.2 3.675
10.8 1.8375
It can be observed that both the variables are in inverse proportion as the distance from sea-level increase the pressure decreases.
As only the second graph satisfies the points and inverse proportional condition, so that is the correct graph.
By plotting the graph in excel taking these data set, the following plot was obtained.
