On a new scale of temperature, which is linear and called the \(\mathrm{W}\) scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are \(39^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)and \(239^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\) respectively. What will be the temperature on the new scale corresponding to a temperature of \(39^\circ ~\mathrm{C}\) on the Celsius scale?
1. \(78^\circ ~\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(117^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
3. \(200^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
4. \(139^\circ ~\mathrm{W}\)
