I think the answer is both x and y are positive
Answer:

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

55*10/2=275
The area of his roof is 275
2x + -11 = k
Reorder the terms:
-11 + 2x = k
Solving
-11 + 2x = k
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + 11 + 2x = 11 + k
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + 2x = 11 + k
2x = 11 + k
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 5.5 + 0.5k
Simplifying
2 flowers are 5.5 feet tall and 4 are 7 feet tall, you subtract 2 from 4 and get 2.
2 flowers is the answer.
