Answer:
B. Â inverse plot, 0.51 kilograms/meter3
Explanation:
First of all, we note that the relationship between the altitude and the atmospheric density is an inverse relationship. In fact, an inverse relationship is a relationship between the x-variable and the y-variable of the form
[tex]y \propto \frac{1}{x}[/tex]
Therefore, as the x increases, the y decreases, and as the x decreases, they increases. This is exactly what occurs with the altitude and the atmospheric density in this plot: as the altitude increases, the density decreases, and vice-versa.
Moreover, we can infer the value of the atmospheric density at an altitude of 1,291 km. This point is located between point A (2550 km) and point B(1000 km), so the density must have a value between 0.30 kg/m^3 and 0.54 kg/m^3, so the correct choice is
B. Â inverse plot, 0.51 kilograms/meter3
