Expressing a wavelength equation in linear form; k must be determined via slope

[General_Sax]

Homework Statement

How should the variables ( l and T) be plotted to obtain k from the slope of a linear graph? Identify (write out) the constants correstponding to the slope and intercept of the linear graph.

Homework Equations

l = lambda

l = (k/f)*(T/u)^0.5

The Attempt at a Solution

k^2 = [ (f^2)*(u) ] * [ (l^2)/T ]

(l^2)/T = x

(f^2)* u = m

K^2 = mx + 0

b = 0

For a plot you need pairs of points (x, y). So what are you going to plot on the x-axis and what on the y-axis? A straight line is of the form y = mx + b. What is your y? It can't be k² because you don't know what it is.

lol, good point. I'll get back to you.
