You can put this solution on YOUR website! That equation does not look right. What is the "*F"? What are you trying to say?
A good relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius can be made using the points, (F,C) for the freezing and boiling points of water. These are (32,0) and (212,100).
Slope is
From slope-intercept for for the equation of a line,  , you can get formula for b, the y-intercept, as  . Pick either of the known points for this line, nomatter which, and compute b.
Picking (212, 100), 
This then gives the equation  , which you might want rearranged.
Which can be written as a formula for degrees F,
