Question:
Which of the following figure represents the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
Which of the following figure represents the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
Show Hint
Remember that the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit is linear, but it does not pass through the origin. The conversion factor is \( \frac{9}{5} \), and the y-intercept is 32.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures is given by the linear equation:
\[
F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32.
\]
This is a straight line with a slope of \( \frac{9}{5} \) and a y-intercept of 32, meaning that when the Celsius temperature is 0°C, the Fahrenheit temperature is 32°F. Thus, the relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit is a straight line with a positive slope that does not pass through the origin but intersects the Fahrenheit axis at 32°F.
In the provided options, the correct figure is one where the line passes through the origin and has a positive slope, matching the relationship of the Celsius to Fahrenheit scale (but offset by the starting point).
Final Answer: Option (1).
