We can measure temperature in two different common units: degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.

The variable F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to CCC, the temperature in degrees Celsius.
F=32+1.8CF=32+1.8CF, equals, 32, plus, 1, point, 8, C
What is the temperature increase in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to a temperature increase of 10 degrees Celsius?

Answer:

Explanation:

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

1/2 The increase in temperature by 10

10°C

Times the unit rate of the conversion function.

2/2 F

is given in slope-intercept form, so the slope of the graph is 1.8

This means the unit rate is 1.8°F / 1°C

Therefore, for 10°C

The increase in Fahrenheit is

10⋅1.8

= 18°F

If there is any confusion please leave a comment below.
