(a)
To sketch: The graph of the function
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Let x-axis represents the temperature in Celsius and the y-axis represents the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Given that the linear function of Fahrenheit is
Obtain the values of F for various values of C as tabulated in Table 1 and draw the graph of F as shown below in Figure 1.
C | F |
-100 | -148 |
-50 | -58 |
0 | 32 |
50 | 122 |
Table 1
From Figure 1, it is observed that the temperature in C and F are the same in −40.
(b)
To find: The value of the slope and F-intercept; explain the meaning of them.
(b)
Answer to Problem 13E
The value of slope is
The value of F-intercept is 32.
Explanation of Solution
From Figure 1, the value of slope is
Slope denotes the rate of change of F for each
The value of y-intercept is 32. This value represents the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature of
