Make a graph by plotting the absorbance values versus the BSA protein content (in μg) for the
seven reference solutions. When constructing the graph, be sure to include a title, and label each
axis, including units. The concentration is the independent variable (x-axis) and the absorbance is
the dependent variable (y-axis). The data should produce a reasonably straight line. Use the linear
regression function on your calculator to obtain a best fit line, or alternatively use a ruler to draw a
best fit line manually. Obtain or calculate the slope m of the best fit line, and record its value in
Table 4.
