If a graph is plotted taking the temperature in Fahrenheit along the `Y`-axis and the corresponding temperature in Celsius along the `X`-axis, it will be a straight line

A

having a positive intercept on the `Y`-axis

B

having a positive intercept on the `X`-axis

C

passing through the origin

D

having a negative intercepts on both the axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(F-32)/(9)=(C)/(5)`
`F=(9)/(5)C+32`
`y=(9)/(5)x+32` , `y=mx+c` , `m=(9)/(5)=+ve` , `C=32=+ve`
`Fv//sC` graph will be a straight line of position slope and positive intercept
