°F to °C
1 Fahrenheit (°F) = -17.2222222222 °C. Temperature scales have different zero points, so this is an offset conversion, not a single multiplication.

Every other category is one multiplication. Temperature scales start at different zero points, so they need an offset as well — which is why doubling °C does not double °F.
