The Formula for Converting from Celsius Temperatures, C, to Fahrenheit

Short Answer

The formula for converting from Celsius temperatures, C, to Fahrenheit temperatures, F, is F = C + 32.
a) If you were to plot a graph of F vs. C, what would be the slope and F-intercept of the line?
b) The slope represents the change in F per unit change in C. Use the value of the slope to determine the increase in Fahrenheit temperature corresponding to a 10 Celsius-degree rise.
c) Rearrange the given formula to obtain a formula for converting from Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius temperatures. What would be the slope and C-intercept if C vs. F were plotted on a graph?
