Question:

The Kelvin (K) scale for measuring temperature is obtained by adding 273 to the Celsius temperature.

(a) Write a linear equation relating K and °C.

(b) Write a linear equation relating K and °F (see Problem 121).


Data from problem 121

The relationship between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) degrees of measuring temperature is linear. Find a linear equation relating °C and °F if 0°C corresponds to 32°F and 100°C corresponds to 212°F. Use the equation to find the Celsius measure of 70°F.
