Which type of function best models the data in the table?

Linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature (in degree Celsius) vs Pressure (in pascals) ordered pairs are

(44,91), (52,93), (60, 95), and (68,97).

Here, the temperature is increasing uniformly as, (52 - 44) = (60 - 52) = (68 - 60) = 8°C and the corresponding values of pressure are also increasing uniformly as, (93 - 91) = (95 - 93) = (97 - 95) = 2 pascals.

Therefore, there will be a linear function between temperature (t) and Pressure (p). (Answer)
