4 2 (a) Variables x and y are connected by the equation 23y ax by , where a and b are constants. Explain clearly how a and b can be calculated when a graph of 2x y against 2y is drawn. [3] (b) The mass, m grams, of a radioactive substance decreases with time, t years. The observation started on 1 January 2021. Measured values of m and t are shown in the table below. m (grams) 53.6 35.9 24.1 16.2 t (years) 10 20 30 40 It is known that m and t are related by the equation 0 ktm m e , where 0m and k are constants. (i) Draw the graph of ln m plotted against t, using a scale of 4 cm for 10 units on the t-axis and a scale of 2 cm for 1 unit on the ln m -axis. [3]
