question 94

Multiple Choice

Entomologists have discovered that a linear relationship exists between the number of chirps of crickets of a certain species and the air temperature. When the temperature is 60° F, the crickets chirp at the rate of 120 times/minute, and when the temperature is 70° F, they chirp at the rate of 150 times/minute. Find an equation giving the relationship between the air temperature T and the number of chirps/minute N of the crickets. ​
