The equation $F = \frac { 9 } { 5 } C + 33$ can be used to convert from degrees in Celsius to degrees in Fahrenheit. Identify the graph of the equation. $F = \frac { 9 } { 5 } C + 33$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph of an equation in the form of $y = mx+b$ is a straight line. In this equation, F (Fahrenheit) is the y-variable and C (Celsius) is the x-variable. So if we write the equation in the form of $y=mx+b$, it would be: $y=\frac{9}{5}x+33$. This is in the slope-intercept form where the slope is $\frac{9}{5}$ and the y-intercept is (0, 33). The graph of the equation represents a line with a positive slope (going up from left to right) and a y-intercept of 33. Only option B matches these characteristics.

The Equation F=95C+33F = \frac { 9 } { 5 } C + 33F=59​C+33

The Equation $F = \frac { 9 } { 5 } C + 33$
