Interpolation - Answer- estimating a value within the range of measured data extrapolation - Answer- projection; conjecture; V. extrapolate: infer (unknown information) from known information best fit line equation commonly takes y=mx+b format. What are your y, x, and b? - Answer- y = dependent variable (v) x = independent (n) m = slope (RT/P) b = intercept In assignment 2 (excel), students are asked to obtain the slope and intercept by rearranging the Ideal Gas Equation into y=mx+b ...

What is the slope if A is plotted on y-axis and B is plotted on x-axis? 5A + 3B = 8 - Answer- -3/5 Masses (in g) and volumes (in mL) of different amount of an unknown liquid were plotted in Excel and a best-fit-line equation was obtained. What is the unit of the slope for the best-fit-line equation? - Answer- g/mL R square value - Answer- quantity that describes how good experimental data fits into a straight line How many significant figures should the result of the following calcul...
