Question 1183145: (Think Metric) C = (9/5) F - (160/9) is an equation relating temperature in Celsius units to temperature on the
Fahrenheit scale. Let C = degrees Celsius and F = degrees Fahrenheit; assume the equation is graphed with C
measured on the vertical axis.
(a) Identify the slope and C intercept.
(b) Interpret the meaning of the slope and C intercept for purposes of converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius
temperatures.
(c) Solve the equation for F and rework parts a and b of F is plotted on the vertical axis.

Linear equation, slope and vertical axis intercept about .

Temperature in centigrade is -17.8 degrees when F is 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can solve for F in terms of C yourself and do whatever graphing you need.
