Biologists have noticed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship appears to be very nearly linear. Suppose a cricket produces 113 chirps per minute at 70F and 178chirps per minute at 75F. (a) Find a linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N. (b) What is the slope of the graph? What does it represent? It represents for each increase of 1 cricket chirp per minute there is a corresponding increase of 1F. It represents for each increase of 13 cricket chirps per minute there is a corresponding increase of 1F. It represents for each increase of 1 cricket chirp per minute there is a corresponding increase of 13F. It represents for each increase of 1/13 cricket chirps per minute there is a corresponding increase of 26F. It represents for each increase of 26 cricket chirps per minute there is a corresponding increase of 1F. (c) If the crickets are chirping at 152 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) F
