Question 1108394: Considering the fact that under specific physical/chemical conditions, water freezes at degrees Fahrenheit (f) on the Fahrenheit temperature scale or at 0 degree Celsius on the Celsius scale, and boils at 'F or 100*C,
a). Find the linear relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales as F=f(C) and write it in slope intercept form.
b). If, on the Fahrenheit temperature scale, the normal/natural body temperature of a healthy person is 98.6 F, what would be the body temperature in C of a patient who is running a fever 2 degrees Fahrenheit above normal?
