(algebraic solution)

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.

a. find the slope of the line connecting the two points (68, 124) and (80, 172).

b. using a complete sentence, interpret the slope of the line found in part (1a).

- can everyone me with this problem? if so, could you show work and how you got the answers? and you.
