Question 905664: Biologists have noticed that the chirping of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 113 chirps per minute at 73 degrees Fahrenheit and 172 chirps per minute at 87 degrees Fahrenheit.
Find a linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N.
T(N)= ?
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Plot Temp on the vertical axis
Plot Number of chirps on horizontal axis
The given points are:
( 113, 73 )
( 172, 87 )
Use the general point-slope formula

---------------------------
check answer:
( 113, 73 )

OK
You can check the other point
