Question 1207883: The relationship between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) degrees of measuring temperature is linear. Find a linear equation relating °C and °F if 0°C corresponds to 32°F and 100°C corresponds to 212°F. Use the equation to find the Celsius measure of 70°F.
I need a linear equation in the form f(x) = mx + b.
The points (0, 32) and (100, 212) can be used to find the slope.
I then must use the point-slope formula to find the equation.
After finding the equation, I then evaluate when x = 70.
Is any of this right?

One of the most classic and routine of linear equation exercises. Too easy to find this already published.

Your two points are as (c, f) and you could choose to keep this way and have ; f for Fahrenheit and c for Celsius.

slope, m

If want point-slope form to start with then
for either of your points (x,y).
You could choose either. What if you choose (0, 32).
