Answer: -254.51°O
Explanation:
Ok, in our scale, we have:
-182.9°C corresponds to 100° O
-218.3°C corresponds to 0°
Then we can find the slope of this relation as:
S = (100° - 0°)/(-182.9°C - (-218.3°C)) = 2.82°O/°C
So we can have the linear relationship between the scales is:
Y = (2.82°O/°C)*X + B
in this relation, X is the temperature in Celcius and Y is the temperature in the new scale.
And we know that when X = -182.9°C, we must have Y = 0°O
then:
0 = (2.82°O/°C)*(-182.9°C) + B
B = ( 2.82°O/°C*189.9°C) = 515.778°O.
now, we want to find the 0 K in this scale, and we know that:
0 K = -273.15°C
So we can use X = -273.15°C in our previous equation and get:
Y = (2.82°O/°C)*(-273.15°C) + 515.778°O = -254.51°O
