Question

1. The Snowtree cricket behaves in a rather interesting way: The rate at which it chirps depends linearly on the temperature. One summer evening you hear a cricket chirping at a rate of 144 chirps/minute, and you notice that the temperature is 81°F. Later in the evening the cricket has slowed down to 120 chirps/minute, and you notice that the temperature has dropped to 75°F. Express the temperature T as a function of the cricket's rate of chirping r.

2. What is the temperature if the cricket is chirping at a rate of 100 chirps/minute?

Answer 1

Here the linear function is N(r)=mT+b

Where N(r) is number of chirps/minute and T is the temperature in Fahrenheit
