Problema Solution
Ice forms at 0 degrees Celsius. Which corresponds to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A temperature of 100 degrees Celsuis corresponds to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is when water boils. Write a linear in slope-intercept form that gives the number of degrees Fahrenheit, y, in terms of the number of degrees Celsius, x.
Answer provided by our tutors
we have two points: (0,32) and (100,212)
let 'c' represent the temperature in Celsius and 'f' represent the temperature in Fahrenheit, then the point-slope equation is:
f-32 = (212-32)/(100-0) * (c-0)
which simplifies to:
f = (9/5)c + 32
