Question 62940
The slope is 9/5 (or 1.8). This means that a Fahrenheit degree change is equivalent to a Celsius change of 1.8 degrees.

The y intercept is 32. This is the melting point of water on the Fahrenheit scale. The melting point of water on the Celsius scale is 0 degrees.

fahrenheit=9/5 celsius+32


This formula is incorrect as a Celsius degree is larger than a Fahrenheit degree. The formula should be
fahrenheit=5/9 celsius+32
