Step 1 :We are given the temperature in Fahrenheit and we need to convert it to Celsius. We can use the formula \(C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)\) to do this. We just need to substitute -7 for F in the formula and calculate the result.
Step 2 :Substitute -7 for F in the formula: \(C=\frac{5}{9}(-7-32)\)
Step 3 :Simplify the expression to get the Celsius temperature as -21.666666666666668.
Step 4 :But we need to round it to the nearest tenth, so the rounded Celsius temperature is -21.7.
Step 5 :The equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale for \(-7^\circ F\) is \(\boxed{-21.7^\circ C}\).
