The boiling point of water is 100oC or 212oF. The freezing point of water is 0oC...

The boiling point of water is 100oC or 212oF. The freezing point of water is 0oC or 32oF.

Follow the steps below to write an equation F = mC +b, for the conversion of the temperature from oC to oF.

  1. Write the boiling point and freezing point of water in ordered pairs (oC, oF).
  2. Find b by setting C = 0, F =32.
  3. Find m by setting C=100, F=212, and using the result from part (b)
  4. Express F = mC+b, using results from parts (b) and (c)
  5. Convert the following temperature from oC to oF:
    1. C = 5, F = ?
    2. C = 10, F = ?
    3. C = -40, F = ?
