Question

quiz: presenting scientific data cr physical science a (gp) 25 - 26 / 1.science skills which value is represented by the slope of the line? 17.5 g/cm³ 9.0 g/cm³ 85 g/cm³ 8.5 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for density

Density ($
ho$) is given by the formula $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Recognize the slope formula

The slope ($s$) of a line in a mass - volume graph is $s = \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta V}$.

Step3: Calculate the slope

Using two points from the graph (e.g., when $V = 10\ cm^{3}$, $m = 85\ g$). Then $s=\frac{85\ g}{10\ cm^{3}} = 8.5\ g/cm^{3}$.

Answer:

$8.5\ g/cm^{3}$ (assuming the last option in the user's problem is $8.5\ g/cm^{3}$)
