Linear-equations/333725: Let C = Celsius degree and F= Fahrenheit degree scales for temperature. Assuming that relation between C and F is linear and drawing F on vertical axis. Two data points on the line relating C and F are (5, 41), (25, 77) Find the equation relating C and F. Can it be applied for practical purposes? 1 solutions Answer 239145 by mananth(12270)   on 2010-08-22 02:14:02 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! (5, 41), (25, 77) the slope of the line passing through the above points = 77-41 / 25-5 =36/20 =9/5 = m the slope .. general equation of line = y = mx +b plug value of any point and the slope m in the equation (5,41) 41=9/5 *5 +b 41=9+b 41-9=b b=32 .. so the general equation will be y = 9/5 x + 32 f is drawn on they axis and c on the x axis f= 9/5 c + 32 ..
