Question

The graph represents the atmospheric pressure, in ounces per

square centimeter, as a function of altitude in kilometers above
sea level.
Which statements accurately reflect this relationship?
Select each correct answer.
As the altitude continues to increase, the
atmospheric pressure approaches 0 oz/cm².
The atmospheric pressure gets close to 36 oz/cm²
as the altitude continues to increase.
The atmospheric pressure is 0oz/cm² at sea level.
As the altitude decreases, the atmospheric pressure
increases.

Answer 1

The true statements are:

(b) as the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases.

(c) the atmospheric pressure is 14lb/in2 at sea level.

What is the graph about?

Graphs can be used to represent real life scenarios. From the question, we can see that:

As the x values increases, the y values increases.

This means that:As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases.

Also, when x = 0. the value of y is 14 This means that the atmospheric pressure is 14lb/in2 at sea level.

Hence, the true statements are: (b) and (c)

The graph represents the atmospheric pressure, in pounds per square inch, as a function of altitude in miles above sea level. Which statements accurately reflect this relationship? Select each correct answer.

The atmospheric pressure gets close to 14 lb/ft2 as the altitude continues to increase.

The atmospheric pressure is 14 lb/in2 at sea level.

As the altitude approaches sea level, the atmospheric pressure increases.

As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases.
