The formula for converting a temperature in degrees Celsius ( $C$ ) to degrees Fahrenheit ( $F$ ) is $F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32$ . If this formula is rewritten to express degrees Celsius in terms of degrees Fahrenheit, in the form $C = k F + p$ , where $k$ and $p$ are constants, what is the value of $p$ ?
