The graph represents the atmospheric pressure, in pounds per square inch, as a function of altitude in miles above sea level.
Which statements accurately reflect this relationship?
Select each correct answer.
 


The atmospheric pressure gets close to
14 
lb/ft
2
as the altitude continues to increase.

The atmospheric pressure is
14 
lb/in
2
at sea level.

As the altitude approaches sea level, the atmospheric pressure increases.

As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases.

Respuesta :

From the graph, we can actually see that as the altitude increase, the value of the pressure decreases. Or if we say it the opposite way, as the altitude decreases (approaches sea level), the pressure increases, therefore the answer is:

 

As the altitude approaches sea level, the atmospheric pressure increases.
