Temperature in celsius is $-17.22^oC$

If $F$ is the temperature in Fahrenheit and $C$ is temperature in Celsius then

$(F-32)/180$ = $(C-0)/100$

or $(F-32)/9= C/5$

Hence if $F=1$ ,

$C/5=(1-32)/9=-31/9$ and

$C=((-31)xx5)/9=-155/9=-17.22$

In case you want to know how many degrees Celsius temperature will rise or fall for every rise or fall by $1^@$ Fahrenheit,

we observe that relation $(F-32)/9= C/5$ is

$C=5/9F-32/9$ or $F=9/5C+32$

So for every rise or fall by $1^@$ Fahrenheit, it is $5/9=0.555^@$ Celsius and for every rise or fall by $1^@$ Celsius, it is $9/5=1.8^@$ Fahrenheit.
