Question

The unit conversion between rankine and kelvin is (linear, exponential, quadratic, none of the above)?

The unit conversion between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit is (linear, exponential, quadratic, none of the above)?

Answer 1

Unit conversion between Rankine and Kelvin is linear.

Unit conversion between degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit is linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relation between rankine and Kelvin is

`R\ =\ (9)/(5)\ K`

So, the plot between Rankine and Kelvin is a straight line with zero intercept and has a slope having value
`(9)/(5)`.

Relation between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit is given by

`^(\circ)C\ =\ (5)/(9)\ (^(\circ)F\ -\ 32)`

So, the plot between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit is a straight line with slope
`(5)/(9)` and negative intercept of
`(160)/(9)`.
