Answer: D.

This is tricky.

Think of the equation as an equation for a line

where in this case.


C=5/9(f-32)

or


C=5/9f-5/9(32)

You can see the slope of the graph is
5/9 which means that for an increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit, the increase is
5/9.


c=5/9(f)


c=5/9(1)=5/9

Therefore, statement I is true. This is the equivalent to saying that an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of
9/5 Degrees Fahrenheit


c=5/9(f)


1=5/9(f)


f=9/5

Since
9/5=1.8 Statement 2, is true.

The only answer that has both statement I and statement II as true is D, but if you have time and want to be absolutely thorough, you can also check to see if statement III (an increase of
5/9 degree Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius) is true:


c=5/9(f)


c=5/9(5/9)


c=25/81 which is ≠ 1)

An increase of
5/9 degree Fahrenheit leads to an increase of
25/81

not 1 degree, Celsius, and so Statement III is not true.

The final answer is D.

I hope this helped x
