You know two points, (F, C). These points are (32, 0) and (212,100).

m=%28100-0%29%2F%28212-32%29
100%2F180
10%2F18
highlight_green%285%2F9%29

Point-slope form using (32,0):
C-0=%285%2F9%29%28F-32%29
C=%285%2F9%29F-%285%2F9%29%2A32
highlight%28C=%285%2F9%29F-160%2F9%29
or if you prefer,
highlight%28C=%285F-160%29%2F9%29

Use the formula for any (almost) value of F you want to convert.
