Question

Miguel used the graph below to convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit (F) and degrees Celsius (C).

Answers:
decreases
increases
is constant
increases then decreases

Answer 1

increases

it increases because i took the test

Answer 2

Hi there!

The answer is: increases.

The temperature in degrees Farenheit is indicated on the horizontal axis. The temperature in degrees Celsius is indicated on the vertical axis.

Let's have a closer look at two different points on the graph.

36 degrees Fahrenheit is (more or less) equal to 2 degrees Celsius.

54 degrees Fahrenheit is (more or less) equal to 12 degrees Celsius.

We can conclude: when the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit increases, the temperature in degrees Celsius rises as well.

We can see in the graph that we're dealing with a straight line. This means that the slope (steepness) of the line will always be the same. When the line is increasing one moment, it'll keep increasing.

Hence, the answer is: the graph shows that as Fahrenheit increases, Celsius increases.
