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. A cricket produces 113 chirps per minute at 70∘F and 153 chirps per minute at 80∘F. (a) Find a linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N. T = (b) What is the slope of the graph? What does it represent? The slope means that the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees increases as rapidly as the number of cricket chirps per minute. (c) If the crickets are chirping at 200 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ∘F

The manager of a furniture factory finds that it costs $2600 to manufacture 60 chairs in one day and $4800 to produce 260 chairs in one day. (a) Express the cost C (in dollars) as a function of the number of chairs x produced, assuming that it is linear. C = Sketch the graph. (b) What is the slope of the graph? What does it represent? It represents the cost (in dollars) of operating the factory daily. It represents the cost (in dollars) of producing each additional chair. It represents the time (in days) to produce each additional chair. It represents the number of chairs produced. (c) What is the y-intercept of the graph? What does it represent? It represents the fixed daily cost (in dollars) of operating the factory. It represents the time (in days) to produce each additional chair. It represents the number of chairs produced.
