5(F-32) = 9C
5(-500-32) = 9c
5 x (-532) = 9c
-2660 = 9c
c = -2660/9
c = -295.5555555
c = -295.56 degrees
But, it is below absolute zero.
Hence it does not exist.

Let Celsius be C and Fahrenheit be F
There is a formula for this temperature conversion. If you weren't aware of this already, here it is:
F = [(9/5) * C] + 32
Using this formula:
F = -500
-500 = [(9/5) * C] + 32
(9/5) * C = -500 - 32
(9/5) * C = -532
9C = -2660
C = -2660/9
C = -288.88888888888888888888888888889
C = -289 (for convenience)
When the temperature is -500 Fahrenheit, it is approximately -289 degree Celsius

That's physically impossible. That's below absoulte zero, when (theoretically) all particles cease motion. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of a substance (in Kelvins).
For example, there are two substances: one at 50 Kelvins, and another at 100 Kelvins. The substance at 100 K will have twice the kinetic energy as the substance at 50 K.
At 0 Kelvins, there will be no kinetic energy, as 0 multiplied by anything is 0.
Therefore, it is physically impossible to have a temperature of -500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Although, if you have to have the number, it is:
-500 degrees Fahrenheit = -295.5 degrees Celsius

It's -295.56 Celcius
Use the formula C = 5/9(F -32)
in your case(F - 32) = -500 -32 = -532

-459.67 degrees Farenheit = -273.15 Celsius. This is absolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin) and there is no temperaure lower than that.

using the formula
C = (F - 32) / 1.8
the answer is -296 degrees celcius, which is practically impossible because the lowest temperature attainable is -273C (absolute zero)

-868 degrees Fahrenheit
multiply your celcius degree by 1.8 and then add 32. this will give you fahrenheit
not sure about absolute zero and stuff, so you might want to ask someone whether this can exist.

theoritically u will get the equivalent by applying the formula
5/9(F-32)
but practically you can get that temperature.
