Answer:

Explanation:

F=(9/5) C +32 has the form of the equation of a straight line: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. By comparing these two equations we see that the slope, m, is (9/5) and the y-intercept is 32 (or (0, 32)).

To graph this, first locate the y-intercept (0, 32); put a dark dot there. Since the slope is 32, or 32/1, move your pencil point 1 unit to the right, from (0, 32) to (1, 32), and then from (1, 32) move y our pencil point 32 units upward. Plot another dark dot there and then draw a straight line through these two points.

We can evaluate the given function F=(9/5) C +32 at C = 15 by replacing C in the formula with 15: F = (9/5)(15) + 32, or F = 59.
