To convert from degrees Celsius (°C) to degrees Fahrenheit (°F), you can use the formula:

\[ °F = (°C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]

In this case, you want to convert -79°C to °F.

Using the formula:

\[ °F = (-79 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]

Calculating it step by step:

  1. Multiply -79 by \( \frac{9}{5} \): \[ -79 \times \frac{9}{5} = -79 \times 1.8 = -142.2 \]

  2. Then add 32: \[ -142.2 + 32 = -110.2 \]

So, -79°C is equal to -110.2°F.

The final answer is:

The temperature is -110.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
