F = 9/5C + 32
Subtract 32 to both sides:
F - 32 = 9/5C
Divide 9/5 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 5/9:
5/9(F - 32) = C
Simplify:
C = 5/9F - 160/9
Answer:
Correct rate of change is -5; correct initial value is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is the coefficient of the x term, which here is -5. So Bryan has the rate of change wrong.
The initial value of the function is found by letting x = 0. Here, we get
y = -5(0) + 3, or y = b = 3. The initial value is 3, not -5.
