so you have two data points right?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,32) and (100,212)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since we have two points, we can always create a straight line.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

so then i use the slope of the line ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you use the general formulae of a line. y=mx+c here F=mC+c where 'c' is the intercept, C is celcius temp and F is farenheit temp
