which are related by an equation y = ab 3 x +1 , where a and b are constants.

x 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.5 0.8 0.9

y 1.867 1.512 0.662 0.356 0.024 0.007

2
(a) Convert the equation y = ab 3 x +1 into linear form. Hence, draw a straight line
graph for the values of x and y.
(b) Use the graph obtained in (a) to determine the values of a and b.
