Question 1084793: The relationship between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit(F°) degrees of measuring temperature is linear. Find a linear equation relating C° degrees and F if 0 degrees 0°C corresponds to 32°F and 35 C° corresponds to 95°F. Use the equation to find the Celsius measure of 72 F.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two ordered pair points, (C, F) described can be (0, 32) and (35, 95). You can also turn the value around and do as (F, C) for points (32, 0) and (95, 35).

The second way:
m=35%2F%2895-32%29
m=35%2F63=%287%2A5%29%2F%287%2A9%29
m=5%2F9
and using point-slope form,
C-0=%285%2F9%29%28F-32%29
highlight%28C=%285%2F9%29%28F-32%29%29


Question asks for the point (72, 22.2).
