A measure of an object's heat or cold is its temperature.
The temperature of an object determines how heat is transferred.
With the help of the Celsius and Fahrenheit values, a graph is drawn by plotting Celsius in the x-axis and Fahrenheit in the y-axis.
From the graph, it is clear that the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit gives a linear equation.
The equation is expressed as
To find the equation for Fahrenheit, the following equation is used.
From the table, the values are obtained.
To calculate the equation for Fahrenheit, substitute the values in the above equation.
The equation for the relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature is given as
