If you think of the equation as an equation for a line. =+
y

where

=5/9(−32)
C
=
5
/
9
(
F
−

)

or

=5/9−5/9(32)
C
=
5
/
9
F
−
5
/
9
(
32
)

you can see the slope of the graph is 5/9
5
/
9
, which means that for an increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit, the increase is 5/9
5
/
9
of 1 degree Celsius. 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
9
/
5
degrees Fahrenheit. Since 95
9
5
= 1.8, statement II is true.

On the other hand, statement III is not true, since a temperature increase of 9/5
9
/
5
degrees Fahrenheit, not 5/9
5
/
9
degree Fahrenheit, is equal to a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius.

The final answer is D.

Gas mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of a car (as well as with highway vs. city driving). suppose your car averages 33 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 54 miles per hour, and it averages 22 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 75 miles per hour. answer parts (a) and (b) below. a. what is the driving time for a 2000-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 54 miles per hour? what is the driving time at 75 miles per hour? the driving time at 54 miles per hour is nothing hours. (type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) the driving time is at 75 miles per hour is nothing hours. (round to two decimal places as needed.) b. assume a gasoline price of $3.33 per gallon. what is the gasoline cost for a 2000-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 54 miles per hour? what is the gasoline cost at 75 miles per hour? the gasoline cost at 54 miles per hour is $ nothing. (round to two decimal places as needed.) the gasoline cost at 75 miles per hour is $ nothing. (round to two decimal places as needed.)
