According to wildlife experts, the rate at which crickets chirp per minute is a function of the temperature in degrees Fahrenhei

t. James observed that when the temp was 60 degrees, there were 84 chirps and when the temp was 85 degrees, there were 184 chirps. Write a linear function to model the relationship between the number of chirps and the temperature.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will let the x coordinates be the temp and the y coordinates by the number of chirps. Our coordinates then will look like this:

(60, 84) and (85, 184). If this is linear, then first we will find the slope of the line which will tell us, in the context of this problem, how many chirps a cricket gives per 1 degree of temp increase.

The slope formula is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and filling in our numbers:

m=\frac{184-84}{85-60}=\frac{100}{25}= 4

This means that for every 1 degree temp increase, a cricket will give 4 chirps. That's the m value in y = mx + b. Now we will pick one of the coordinates, doesn't matter which one, and use those x and y values in the point-slope form of a line to get the equation. I will choose (60, 85), just because. Using the other point will give you the exact same line equation, I PROMISE!

Using 85 as y1 and 60 as x1 in

y - y1 = m(x - x1) gives us

y - 85 = 4(x - 60) and

y - 85 = 4x - 240 and

y = 4x - 240 + 85 and

y = 4x - 155

pogonyaev
<span>So we want to know what is the ending ballance if the starting value on the account was the deposit of 1644.5$ and debit card transactions were: 30$ + 5.59$ + 7.2$ + 21.3$= 64.09$ and checks: 190$ + 45$ + 7.5$= 242.5$. When we take those values from the initial value: 1644.5$-242.5$-64.09$= 1377.91$. And the correct answer is A. </span>

Peter hired a cleaning company to clean his house. The cleaning company charges a fixed fee of $15
amm1812

Answer:

y= total charge for cleaning

x= number of hours of cleaning

Equation y=15+17x

For example, if the company cleaned for 2 hours it would be y=17+15(2)

y=17+30

y= 30 dollars

Hope this helps!
