Why can we change dt with $(dt/dp)_s dp$?

In my homework assignment there's the following question:

a general thermodynamic system is being compressed isentropically from pressure $P_i$ to $P_f$ while keeping the number of particles constant. write down the temperature change of the system using an integral. reduce the partial derivative in the integrand to the measurable quantities: T,V,$\alpha$, $C_p$.

The solution to the question is the following:

My question is: What was used in the transition from $\Delta$T to the first integral over dp? how would one approach this question and get the correct result as seen above?
