Question

assume linear depreciation:
Let x denote a temperature on the celsius scale, and let y denote the corresponding temperature on the fahrenheit scale.
a) find a linear function relating x and use the facts that 32 degrees F corresponds to 0c and 212F corresponds to 100 degrees. write the function in the form y=Ax+B.
b) what celsius temperature corresponds to 98.6 F?
c) find a number z for which xdegreeF=zdegreeC.

Answer 1

I have no clue any suggestions

Answer 2

Lol.

Answer 3

Mini will give some.

Answer 4

I thought now correct me if I am wrong (32, 0) and (212, 100) am I on the right track

Answer 5

Saifi, you can try first :D

Answer 6

Ladies first. @mini

Answer 7

this lady is clueless

Answer 8

I am and Im a lady

you are funny Its ok

Answer 18

Lol.

Answer 19

btw @danyel.. u were correct.

Answer 20

ok I was hoping

Answer 21

how do I plug that into y=Ax+B

Answer 22

slope, then y interceot.

Answer 23

intercept*

Answer 24

am i doing the
slope = (100-0)/(212-32)

Answer 25

right,

Answer 26

=100/170

Answer 27

right.
5/9 slope.

Answer 28

I was looking for my calc thanks

Answer 29

np. :)

Answer 30

now I do y=mx+b

Answer 31

\[\checkmark\]

Answer 32

i better find a job in colleges as a teacher. LOL.

Answer 33

no kidding

Answer 34

so here I get confused what numbers do I stick where?

Answer 35

u have two cordinates.
use any one..

Answer 36

lets use (32, 0) where do i plug themin at?

Answer 37

them in

Answer 38

hmm.. carry on..

Answer 39

y=1(x/32)+b

Answer 40

u forgot a 0/.

Answer 41

ok so it will say (0x/32)+B

Answer 42

No, lol.

Answer 43

( x,y)
(32,0)

y=5x/9+b
0 = 5(32)/9 +b

Answer 44

0=5(32)/9+B

Answer 45

yo.

Answer 46

then i go 160/9+B?

Answer 47

dont forget zero.

Answer 48

right

Answer 49

0=18+b

Answer 50

how u did that? :o

Answer 51

I took 160/9

Answer 52

I don't do that

Answer 53

no, how u got 18?

Answer 54

It was 17.777 so i rounded up

Answer 55

No. i prefer u take that in fraction instead.

Answer 56

ok

Answer 57

160/9 then

Answer 58

b = -160/9

Answer 59

right that is what i got

Answer 60

hmm. right.

Answer 61

so that is the slope right

Answer 62

No.
the slope is 5/9.
this is the y intercept.

Answer 63

thats right sorry I am getting confused with so many steps

Answer 64

i can understand...

Answer 65

dont worry. ^_^

Answer 66

This is all the answer to A) correct?

Answer 67

wait.
the answer is
\[y = \frac59x - \frac{160}{9}\]

Answer 68

/I knew what you ment

Answer 69

i wrote that incorrect,

Answer 70

so now I have to find out what temperature corresponds to 98.6 degrees F.

Answer 71

insert the values to get the answer

Answer 72

ok

Answer 73

the 98.6

Answer 74

are u sure?
im getting something different.

Answer 75

no

Answer 76

I can't think any more I need to go to sleep Thanks for helping me tonite

Answer 77

I can't seem to process what I need to do sorry.

Answer 78

lol, ok finish this part first then u may go to bed.

Answer 79

98.6 = (5 x)/9-160/9

solve for x.
