No, a temperature in degrees Celsius is not directly proportional to its equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The relationship between these two temperature scales involves both a multiplication and an addition step, as shown in the conversion formula you mentioned.
To convert a temperature in degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, you need to multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then add 32. This formula is known as the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula.
To determine if two variables are directly proportional, you need to observe if a constant ratio exists between them. In this case, since you need to both multiply and add, the relationship is not proportional.
