now... notice, your values are 0, 32 and 100, 212 for x, y
that means "x" is the Celsius and "y" is the Farenheit

% point-slope intercept
y-0={{ \cfrac{5}{9}}}(x-{{ 32}})\implies y=\cfrac{5}{9}x-\cfrac{5\cdot 32}{9}+0
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{5}{9}x-\cfrac{160}{9}[/tex]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
now, let us solve the first equation for "x"
[tex]\bf y=\cfrac{9}{5}x+32\implies y-32=\cfrac{9}{5}x\implies 5y-160=9x
\\\\
\cfrac{5y-160}{9}=x\implies \cfrac{5}{9}y-\cfrac{160}{9}=x[/tex]
so, you do end up with the same value, if you make"y" or "x" for the Farenheit
