$\textbf{Substitute\ in\ the\ equation}$

$\displaystyle 98.6 = \frac{9C}{5} +32$

$\textbf{Solve\ for\ }C$

$\displaystyle 66.6 = \frac{9C}{5}$

$333=9C$

$\large C=\textbf{37 \textdegree C}$

Write the equation for a line that has an initial value of 3 and 3/4 as it’s rate of change

frutty [35]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

initial value of 3, namely when x = 0, y = 3, so we have the point (0 , 3) and it has a rate or slope of 3/4.

$(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{3}{4} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{4}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x+3$
