Answer:

a) a straight line

b) a hyperbola

Explanation:

a) When a = v/r is plotted against v as the independent variable, it will be a straight line through the origin with a slope of 1/r.

__

b) When a = v/r is plotted against r as the independent variable, it will be a hyperbola with a "constant of proportionality" of v. Here, a is inversely proportional to r.
