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 negative intercepts on the X and Y axes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`C/100=(F-32)/180` or `F-32=180/100C`
or `F=9/5 C+32`
It is of the form y = mx + C. The graph is a straight line having positive intercept on y-axis.
