Question 197576: I am having trouble can someone help please thanks

Consider the following table.
C(celsius) F(Farenheit)
Water Freezes 0 32
Water Boils 100 212

(a) A linear relationship exists between Celsius(C) and Farenheit(F) temperatures. Using points of the form (F,C), find the linear equation solved for C (in terms of F).
C(F) =

(b) Now, using the linear equation that you just determined, find the Celsius equivalent of 165.4°F. C(Celsius)

Consider the following table.
C(celsius) F(Farenheit)
Water Freezes (0,32)
Water Boils (100, 212)
----
Put points in the for (F,C):
(32,0) (212,100)
(a) A linear relationship exists between Celsius(C) and Farenheit(F) temperatures. Using points of the form (F,C), find the linear equation solved for C (in terms of F).
slope = (100-0)/(212-32) = 100/180 = 5/9
intercept = ?
0 = (5/9)*32 + b
b = -160/9
------------------
Equation:
C(F) = (5/9)F - 160/9
=========================================

(b) Now, using the linear equation that you just determined, find the Celsius equivalent of 165.4°F. C(Celsius)
C(165.4) = (5/9)*165.4 - 160/9
C(165.4) = 74.111
==========================
