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