Question 384262: Good evening! I am trying to figure out a word problem, I hope you can help!
An enclosed gas exerts a pressure P on the walls of its container. This pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. If the pressure is 2 pounds per square inch when the temperature is 280K, identify the appropriate direct variation equation.
Thanks,
Denise

p=kt where k is a constant
p=2
K=280
2=k*280
k=1/140
