If the temperature graph of a certain experiment formed a straight line when recorded on the Celsius scale, discuss what a graph of the same experiment on the Kelvin scale would look like

At -276 degrees Kelvin electrons stop orbiting their atom nuclei. Therefore this is called absolute zero. The degrees are the same size as Celsius degrees, so the graph would look the same. The numbers would just be increased by 276. So the freezing point of water is 276 K, and your body temperature is 313 K.

This is a joke, right?
The Kelvin and Centigrade scales have identical grades with different intercepts. If a graph forms a straight line against one it must also form a stright line against the other. Only the intercept will change. The curve/slope has to remain identical.

just remember that as the celsius number increases so does the temperature. kelvin is the opposite, the number increases but the temperature goes down.

K=C+273
really tough
