The graph below shows the mass of glucose excreted in the urine plotted against the Fasting Blood Glucose Concentration for eight patients with impaired glucose regulation.

Glucose excretion vs Fasting Blood Glucose Concentration

a.

What does the graph show about the relationship between Fasting Blood Glucose Concentration and the mass of glucose excreted in the urine?

[1]
b.

A patient has a Fasting Blood Glucose Concentration of 16.0 mmol dm−316.0\text{ mmol dm}^{-3}16.0 mmol dm−3. They produce 1200 cm31200\text{ cm}^31200 cm3 of urine in 24 hours.

Calculate the concentration of glucose in this patient's urine using the line of best fit.
