<PRE><B>Question 166454</B>
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)
