Answer:

Direct proportionality

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of variables that are directly proportional such as the temperature and volume of a gas has a graph consisting of a diagonal line that from the lower left of the graph to the upper right of the graph

According to Charles law, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin at constant pressure

Charles law can be represented mathematically as V ∝ T

From which we have;

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂, therefore, the graph of V to T has a constant slope, ΔV/ΔT.
