consider the two points
(f1,c1) = (32,0) & (f2,c2) = (212,100)
the gradient is
m = (100 - 0)/(212 - 32) = 100/180 = 5/9
the equation of a line is
c - c1 = m(f - f1)
gives
c - 0 = (5/9)(f - 32)
so
c = (5/9)(f - 32)

100° C = 180° F
1 ° C = 180 / 100° F = 9 / 5 ° F
Example
20°C = [32 + 9/5 (20)]°F = 32 + 36 °F = 68°F

C=5/9F-32 F=9/5C+32 I think this is what uou want

If you want the formula to convert C to F it's:
(F-32)x9/5

°C = (5/9) (°F - 32)
