Question 166454: You are an American exchange student planning to study in Florence,Italy, during the winter term. In preparation for your trip, you consult the Italian school's Web site to find out what the temperature is likely to be. However, the daily weather is given in the Celsius scale. Use the table to find a way to convert temperatures from the Celsius to the Fahrenheit scale.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the table to find a way to convert temperatures from the Celsius to the Fahrenheit scale.
(WATER) (FAHRENHEIT SCALE) (CELSIUS SCALE)
Freeze 32-degrees 0-degrees
Boils 212-degrees 100-degrees
-----------------------
You have two points: (32,0) and (212,100)
slope = [100-0]/[212-32] = 100/180 = 5/9
------------
intercept: 0 = (5/9)32 + b
b = -160/9
----------------
EQUATION:
C(x) = (5/9)x - (160/9)
