Question 158620This question is from textbook pre calculous
: Farenheit and Celcius In the farenheit temp scale, water boils at 212 F and freezes at 32 F. In the celcius scale, water boils at 100 C and freezes at 0 C. Assume that the Farenheit temp F and Celcius temp C are linearly related.
A. Find the equation in slope intersept form relating F and C with C as an independant variable.
B. What is the meaning of slope in question a?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Farenheit and Celcius In the farenheit temp scale, water boils at 212 F and freezes at 32 F. In the celcius scale, water boils at 100 C and freezes at 0 C. Assume that the Farenheit temp F and Celcius temp C are linearly related.
A. Find the equation in slope intersept form relating F and C with C as an independant variable.
B. What is the meaning of slope in question a?
--------------------------------
I would draw any graphs with C as the horizontal axis and F as vertical.
A. F = 1.8C + 32 This is the slope-intercept form usually seen as y=mx+b.
32 is the "y-intercept", F intercept in this case, where it crossed the F axis.
0 degs C = 32 degs F.
------------------
B. The slope is 1.8, which is the ratio of the size of a deg C to a deg F.
