Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation is represented by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change, b is the value of y at x = 0, y is a dependent variable and x is an independent variable.
a) Given that number of chirps per minute, C is dependent on the temperature, T, when T = 45 degrees, C = 0, this can be represented as (45, 0).
Also at 75 degrees, C = 126 it can be represented as (75, 126).
Using (45, 0) and (75, 126), we can determine the equation of the line from:
b) At t = 90°:
C = 4.2(90) - 189
C = 189 chirps per min
