Biologists have observed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship

appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 120 chirps per minute at 70°F and 168 chirps per minute at 80°F.
(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.


(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)

(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.
If the equation is linear, then the equation should have the form of t = mn + b

m = (80 - 70) / (168 - 120) = 5/24

t = 5/24n + b

70 = 5/24(120) + b
b = 45

t = 5/24 n + 45

<span>(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)
</span><span>t = 5/24 n + 45
</span><span>t = 5/24 (138) + 45 = 74 </span>°F

Answer:

  $6.80/fortnight

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to know there are 13 weeks in a quarter, and 2 weeks in a fortnight. The conversion is straightforward.

  \dfrac{\$44.20}{\text{quarter}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ quarter}}{13\text{ weeks}}\times\dfrac{2\text{ weeks}}{1\text{ fortnight}}=\dfrac{\$44.20\times2}{13\text{ fortnight}}\\\\=\boxed{\$6.80\text{/fortnight}}

What equation defines a line that intersects the graph of 6x-2y=10 exactly once?
leva [86]

Any line with a slope different than 3 will intercept the given line only once.

<h3>What equation defines a line that intersects the graph?</h3>

The answer will be any line that is not parallel (nor the same) to the given line.

Remember two lines are parallel if the lines have the same slope and different y-intercept

In this case, the given linear equation is:

6x - 2y = 10

y = 3x - 5

So the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -5.

Then, any line with a slope different than 3 will intercept this line only once.

An example can be:

y = 314*x

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to 4x-3y=6 and
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

-3y = -4x + 6

3y = 4x - 6

y = (4/3)x - 2

y + 5 = (4/3)(x - 3)

y + 5 = (4/3)x - 4

y = (4/3)x - 9
