You have invented a new temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling points of beryllium (Be), which freezes at 1278°C and boils at 2970°C. The scale is called the Belsius scale and is measured in degrees B, or °B. A temperature of 0.0°B corresponds to the freezing point of beryllium while 100°B corresponds to the boiling point of beryllium. Determine a conversion relation between temperature in Belsius, TB, and temperature in degrees Celsius, TC, of the form TB = ATC + B. Determine the values of the constants A and B.
SOLVE FOR CONSTANTS A AND B
HINT:Substitute the values of TB and the corresponding values of TC into TB=ATC+B
to set up a system of two equations that can be solved simultaneously for A and B
