Asking for a fifth time:

Please, dear heavens above, somebody answer this:
PLEASE :)
9. The conversion rule for Fahrenheit to Réaumur is R(t)=4/9*(F(t)-32)
Explain where the 32 and the 4/9 come from in this formula. Then describe the transformations from the graph of F(t) to the graph of R(t).

Answer:

The Réaumur scale also known as the "octogesimal division", is a temperature scale in which the freezing and boiling points of water are set to 0 and 80 degrees respectively. The scale is named after René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, who first proposed something similar in 1730.

Fahrenheit is a thermodynamic temperature scale, where the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point 212°F (at standard atmospheric pressure). This puts the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart. Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1/180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point of water. Absolute zero is defined as -459.67°F.
