Question

Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician and astronomer who lived from 1571-1630. He discovered the mathematical relationship between the orbital radius and orbital period:
This says:
The orbital period squared is proportional to the radius cubed.
Another way to write this is:
where k is the slope of a graph of T2 vs. 7³.
Let's see how well your data matches Kepler's prediction:
• make a calculated column that cubes the radius
• make another that squares the period
change the graph axes so the radius cubed is on the horizontal axis
• make period squared on the vertical axis
add a linear fit
What is the slope from the equation of the line on your graph?
