While on vacation in Canada, you notice that temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. You know there is a linear
relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius, but you forget the formula. you remember the freezing point of water is 0°C
or 32°F and its boiling point is 100°C or 212°F
a Write an equation that represents degrees Fahrenheit in terms of degrees Celsius. Let x represent the temperature in degrees Celsius and
let y represent the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

Respuesta :

Since , the relation is linear .

Let equation is y = mx + c .

Putting , x = 0 and y = 32 .

32 = c  .......( 1 )

Also , putting x = 100 and y = 212 .

We get :

212 = 100m + c .......( 2 )

Comparing equation 1 and 2 .

100m = 212 - 32

x = 1.8

Therefore , y = 1.8x + 32 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
