00:01 Okay, here we have a straight line graph.
00:02 It's a linear.
00:04 So it's just for the axes.
00:08 Here is f on the y axis and c on the x axis.
00:15 And the graph looks like this.
00:21 And it will cut here.
00:25 The c value is zero.
00:27 This is 32 degrees.
00:32 And the slope is 9 over 5.
00:36 So, if i work out, this point down here.
00:41 What i would get i make f0.
00:44 I'm going to have zero equals 9 over 5c plus 32...
