Question

the formula for converting Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit temperature is a linear equation. Water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F and it boils at 100° C, or 212°F. Find the slope and y intercept for a graph that gives degrees Celsius on the horizontal azis and degrees Fahrenheit on the vertical axis. Then write an equation in slope intercept form that converts degrees Celsius into degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

F=32+1.8c. This is in slope intercept form, so 32 is the Y intercept, and the slope is 1.8(9/5).
