Degrees Fahreheit 32 122 185
\n" ); document.write( "Degrees Celsius 0 50 85
\n" ); document.write( "Choose any two data points and use them to construct a linear equation that models the data, with x being Celsius and y Fahrenheit. Then use the equation to find the Fahrenheit temp corresponding to 40 Degrees Celsius
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use (0,32) and (50,122)
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (122-32)/(50-0) = 9/5
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Form: F = mC + b
\n" ); document.write( "m = 9/5 and F = 32 when C = 0
\n" ); document.write( "32 = (9/5)*0 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 32
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "F = (9/5)C + 32
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Then use the equation to find the Fahrenheit temp corresponding to 40 Degrees Celsius
\n" ); document.write( "F(40) = (9/5)*40 + 32
\n" ); document.write( "F(40) = 72 + 32
\n" ); document.write( "F(40) = 104 degree
