Molar Mass Determination from freezing point

If I have calculated the freezing point using the cooling curve on excel (took the line of best fits from the initial temperature and plateau and set equal to each-other and solved). How can I now calculate the molecular weight of a unknown with this information, the Kf( given as 4.49), and the initial and final temperature. 1g of the unknown was put into 5 grams pure steric acid. The equation given is MW= Kf x (m solute/m solvent x Δ Tf). With the information given, am I able to just plug in the information I have? Do I need to use the freezing point or do I use the change in temperature?
