9. Most substances contract when they freeze. However, water expands in volume when it freezes. Eleven cubic feet of water becomes 12 cubic feet of ice, 33 cubic feet of water becomes 36 cubic feet of ice, and 66 cubic feet of water becomes 72 cubic feet of ice.

a. Make a graph of these data.

b. Write a functional equation for the relationship between the volume of the water and the corresponding volume of ice.
