Question

The Ruler Postulate suggests that there are many ways to assign coordinates to a line. The Fahrenheit and Celsius
temperature scales on a thermometer indicate two such ways
of assigning coordinates. A Fahrenheit temperature of 32°
corresponds to a Celsius temperature of 0°. The formula, or
rule, for converting a Fahrenheit temperature F into a Celsius
temperature C is C = -(F 32).
a.What Celsius temperatures correspond to Fahrenheit tem-
peratures of 212° and 98.6°?
b.Solve the equation above for F to obtain a rule for converting
Celsius temperamrcs to Fahrenheit temperatures.
c.What Fahrenheit temperatures correspond to Celsius tem-
peratures of - 40° and 2000°?
