Interpreting the Celsius-to-Fahrenheit Linear Model

An environmental safety officer at a global manufacturing plant is preparing a briefing for a multi-national team to ensure standardized safety protocols across different regions. The officer uses the linear equation F=95C+32F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 to help the team understand the relationship between Fahrenheit (FF) and Celsius (CC) readings. In a brief response, state the specific mathematical meaning of the slope (95\frac{9}{5}) and the FF-intercept (3232) as they apply to this temperature relationship.
