Question 994317: Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, which is the same as 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Also water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, which is the same as 212 degrees Fahrenheit. (Use fractions in your answers.)
(a) Use the freezing and boiling points of water to find a formula expressing Celsius temperature C as a linear function of the Fahrenheit temperature F.
C =
(b) What is the slope of the function you found in part (a)?
