At 82°f, a certain insect chirps at a rate of 61 times per minute, and at 91°f, they chirp 124 times per minute. write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

y ---->insect chirping rate in times per minute

we have the ordered pairs

(82,61) and (91,124)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

substitute the values

step 2

Find the equation of the line

we know that

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

 ---> the units are chirps per minute/degree F

take the point (82,61)

substitute and solve for b

substitute

the answer is 31.27mph

a: 1/6, j: 1/4
