Hello.

I am doing a lab where I use melting point of a solid and comparing it to literature. When I used boiling point there was a corrected bp formula that took into account barometric pressure:

Corrected Boiling Point $(\backslash$deg C$)=$Observed Boiling Point $(\backslash$deg C$)+[(760$mmhg $-$Barometric Pressure$)/10$mmHG$)$ x $0\mathrm{.}5$ degrees celcius

Can I just swap boiling point with melting point? I am having trouble finding a melting point corrected formula. I have read that instead of $+[(760$mmhg $-$Barometric Pressure$)/10$mmHG$)$ x $0\mathrm{.}5$ degrees celcius it is actually $-[(760$mmhg $-$Barometric Pressure$)/10$mmHG$)$ x $0\mathrm{.}5$ degrees celcius for melting point.

This is due to the fact that boiling points increase with increasing pressure, while melting points decrease with increasing pressure.

Is that correct that it is minus the second part of equation for mp rather than $+$ as used in bp$?$
