The concentration of total phosphorus ( p in mg/m 3 ) and chlorophyll ( c in

Question:

The concentration of total phosphorus (p in mg/m³) and chlorophyll α (c in mg/m³) for each of the Great Lakes in 1970 was

Lake Superior lake Michigan lake Huron Lake Erie: West basin Central basin Eost basin Lake Ontario 4.5 0.8 8.0 5.5 2.0 1

The concentration of chlorophyll α indicates how much plant life is suspended in the water. As such, it indicates how unclear and unsightly the water appears. Use the above data to determine the relationship of c as a function of p. Use this equation to predict the level of chlorophyll that can be expected if waste treatment is used to lower the phosphorus concentration of western Lake Erie to 10 mg/m³.
