The equation above shows how temperature F, measured in degrees Fahrenheit, relates to a temperature C, measured in degrees Celsius. Based on the equation, which of the following must be true?
A temperature increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of
5
9
degree Celsius.
A temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to a temperature increase of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
A temperature increase of
5
9
degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius.
A) I only
B) II only
C) III only
D) I and II only
ANSWER EXPLANATION: Think of the equation as an equation for a line
y=mx+b
where in this case
C=
5
9
(F−32)
or
C=
5
9
F−
5
9
(32)
You can see the slope of the graph is
5
9
, which means that for an increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit, the increase is
5
9
of 1 degree Celsius.
C=
5
9
(F)
C=
5
9
(1)=
5
9
Therefore, statement I is true. This is the equivalent
