Question

Is the relationship between the temperature scales proportional?Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer: No, see explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the relationship between the temperature scales to be proportional, the ratio (the number we get when dividing the given temperature in Celsius by the temperature in Fahrenheit) has to be constant.

$\frac{0}{32}=0\\\frac{10}{50}=0.2\\\frac{20}{68}=0.29$

In the example, I give, we can see that is not the case. It applies to any value as well, therefore the relationship between the temperature scales is NOT proportional
