Biologists have found that the number of chirps some crickets make per minute is related to temperature. the relationship is very close to being linear. when crickets chirp 124 times a minute, it is about 68 degrees fahrenheit. when they chirp 172 times a minute, it is about 80 degrees fahrenheit.

create an equation in y=mx+b form

how warm is it when the crickets are chirping 150 times a minute?

, i have to turn this in tomorrow

45 points

It is degrees Fahrenheit when the crickets are chirping times a minute.

Variables and  

y-intercept

slope

Step-by-step explanation:

As the chirps are times per minute for degrees Fahrenheit we will consider it in .

Now when the chirps are times and temperature is degrees we consider it .

To find the slope we can use point-slope formula.

Where is the slope and

To find y-intercept we will plug out the value of slope in choosing point .

So

And the equation is

To calculate temperature for chirpings we have to plug and in our above equation which is in form of

degrees Fahrenheit.

Finally we have :

Temperature degrees Fahrenheit.
