12 Answer only one of the following two alternatives.

EITHER

The table shows values of the variables v and p which are related by the equation p = a2 + b , where a
and b are constants. v v

v 2 4 6 8
p 6.22 2.84 1.83 1.35

(i) Using graph paper, plot v 2 p on the y-axis against v on the x-axis and draw a straight line graph.
[2]

(ii) Use your graph to estimate the value of a and of b. [4]

1
In another method of finding a and b from a straight line graph, is plotted along the x-axis. In this
v
case, and without drawing a second graph,

(iii) state the variable that should be plotted on the y-axis, [2]

(iv) explain how the values of a and b could be obtained. [2]

OR

The table shows experimental values of two variables r and t.

t 2 8 24 54
r 22 134 560 1608

(i) Using the y-axis for ln r and the x-axis for ln t, plot ln r against ln t to obtain a straight line graph.
[2]

(ii) Find the gradient and the intercept on the y-axis of this graph and express r in terms of t. [6]

Another method of finding the relationship between r and t from a straight line graph is to plot lg r on
the y-axis and lg t on the x-axis. Without drawing this second graph, find the value of the gradient and
of the intercept on the y-axis for this graph. [2]
