the relationship between celcius and fahrenheit degrees for measuring temperature is linear. find an equation relating celcius and fahrenheit...
0 celcius = 32 fahrenheit
100 celcius = 212 fahrenhiet
use the equation to find the celcius measure of 70 degrees

dont quote me on it but i believe you can use the equation celcius=degrees*5/9-32. I know 5/9 and 32 are used in the equation.

we know the equation of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope, b the vertical intercept, y the dependent variable (celsius) and x the independent variable (fahrenheit)
Use the two points, (32, 0) and (212, 100) to solve for the equation of the line.

Tc=(5/9)*(Tf-32)
Tc=temperature in degrees CelsiusTf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
* means multiply
