    The concentration of dye is 2.29 mg/mL.

    Explanation:

    According to Beer's law the absorbance (A) of a solution is proportional to its concentration (c). The best fit curve line to an A vs. c plot has a slope of 0.1815 mL/mg and intercept of 0.0477. The resulting equation is:

    A = 0.0477 + 0.1815 mL/mg. c

    If a solution has an absorbance of 0.464, the concentration of dye will be:

    0.464 = 0.0477 + 0.1815 mL/mg. c

    c = 2.29 mg/mL
