The mass M of a decaying substance is measured at one minute intervals. The points
(t, ln M) are plotted for 0 ⩽ t ⩽ 10, where t is in minutes. The line of best fit is drawn. This is
shown in the following diagram.
9a. State two words that describe the linear correlation between ln M and t. [2 marks]
