A particular temperature scale is obtained according to the relation: t ae b α = + where a and b are constants, and t is in °C. The thermometric property as measured by the thermometer is α. The values of α at ice point and steam point are 6 and 9, respectively. The temperature (in °C) which gives α = 7 is __________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
Answer: 8.9 to 9.1
