Normal room temperature is about 71 degree Fahrenheit. What is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale ?
A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting
the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads -x°C as
X°F. Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading?
Round your answer to three significant figures.
°C
The equation for the linear relationship between degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius is as follows:
y=(1.8 °F/ °C) x + 32⁰ F
What is the magnitude of the slope?
O 57.6
1.8
