Do farhenheit and centigrade have a temperature at which they are equivalent?

Certainly!  They are always equivalent.  What you are probably interested in
is the temperature at which they are equal.  The conversion formula is:

                        (9/5)C + 32 = F

Let's say that the temperature at which they are equal is T.

                        (9/5)T + 32 = T
                        (9/5)T      = T - 32
                        (4/5)T      = -32
                             T      = -40

so -40C is the same temperature as -40F.
