Question 984908: A new temperature scale is called Z. On that scale, the boiling point of water is 150 degrees Z and the freezing point is −10.0 degrees Z . Find the corresponding 70 degrees Z in degrees C . Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Make a system of points according to ordered pairs (z,c) and you have two known points (150,100) and (-10,0). Find the linear equation which contains these two points. You would want the result in slope-intercept form.

and find b, ; using either of the two known points.
