- B

- C

- D

View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Let the Celsius temperature be and the Fahrenheit temperature be .
-
The relation between them is
-
This is a linear equation of the form where
- slope
- intercept on the -axis is
- So the graph between and must have these properties:
- it is a straight line
- it has positive slope
- it does not pass through the origin
- when , we get
- when , we get C=-\frac{160}{9}\approx -17.8^C So it cuts the -axis at a negative value.
-
Therefore, the correct figure is the one showing a straight line with positive slope crossing the Fahrenheit axis at and the Celsius axis at about .
-
Hence, the correct option is D.
