Linda · Answer 1

C. hyperbola

Explanation:

From Boyle's law:

PV = k, where k is a constant

Solving for P:

P = k / V

At first glance, this equation doesn't fit any of the options. But when you graph it, you can see that it's actually a rotated hyperbola.

Lisa Petty · Answer 2

C. hyperbola

Explanation:

According to Boyles' law, PV = constant, if a graph is plotted with the pressure P against the volume V, the graph would be a (n) hyperbola.
