    Question

    A graph of Fahrenheit temperature versus Celsius temperature is a straight line, whose intercept is _____.

    A.

    32°F

    B.

    32°C

    C.

    100°C

    D.

    0°F

    Correct option is A

    The Correct Answer is: (a) 32°F
    Explanation:
    The relationship between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) temperatures is given by the equation:

    F = 95C+32\frac{9}{5}C + 32​​

    This is a linear equation of the form y = mx + c, where:

    • F (Fahrenheit) is plotted on the y-axis
    • C (Celsius) is on the x-axis
    • Slope (m) is 9/5
    • Intercept (c) is 32°F

    So, the intercept of the graph on the Fahrenheit axis (when Celsius is 0) is:

    F = 95(0)+32=32F\frac{9}{5}(0) + 32 = 32^\circ F​​

    Information Booster:
    • Conversion Formula: F =95C+32 \frac{9}{5}C + 32​​
    • Freezing point of water: 0°C = 32°F
    • Boiling point of water: 100°C = 212°F
    • The Fahrenheit scale was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
    • The graph is a straight line, indicating a linear relationship.
