Physical ScienceUse the linear equation derived in Exercise 1 to work the following problem.

Find the temperature at which Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures are numerically equal.

Exercise 1

Physical Science The following table shows equivalent Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures:

Degrees Fahrenheit

32

68

104

140

176

212

Degrees Celsius

0

20

40

60

80

100

(a) Choose any two data points and use them to construct a linear equation that models the data, with x being Fahrenheit and y being Celsius.


(b) Use the model in part (a) to find the Celsius temperature corresponding to

 50° Fahrenheit and 75° Fahrenheit.
