Question

To convert centimeters to inches, we multiply the measurement in centimeters by 2.54. Identify the type of relation between centimeters and inches.

Answer 1

It's linear because if you graph the relationship between centimeter and inches, you get a straight line. You can also tell because the equation you can make from this relationship [y=2.54x] has a degree of one.

Hope this helps! :)

PS. Your question is incorrect; to convert from inches to centimeters you would multiply the measurement in inches by 2.54, not the other way around. ;D

Answer 2

@austinL Am i right?

Answer 3

There are 2.54 centimeters in every inch, so therefore you would need to multiply each centimeter by the number it takes for an inch. So, if you have 12 inches, that would mean that you have 30.48 centimeters.
Additionally, it would be a linear relationship.

Answer 4

EDIT: Yeah, correct. :D and typo, some mild dyslexia going.

Answer 5

The statemtnet in the post above is false.
To convert cm to inches, you _divide_ the measuremnt in cm by 2.54.
To convert inches to cm you multiply the measurement in inches by 2.54.

Answer 6

I already stated I had the terms switched, but I was going based solely on the idea of multiplication.

Answer 7

If y = cm, and x = inches,
y = 2.54 x
This is an equation of the form y = mx + b, with m = 2.54 and b = 0, so it's linear.

Answer 8

I'm confused as to why this question is still open :/
