Question 1

A scientist measures how the total pressure varies with depth below the surface of a freshwater lake.

They plot a graph with total pressure on the $y$ -axis and depth on the $x$ -axis. Both atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the water are taken into account.

Which of the following mathematical equations represents how the total pressure varies with depth?

$y = m x$

$y = m x + c$

$\frac{k}{x}$

$y = ax^2 + c$
