At 78°F, a certain insect chirps at a rate of 106 times per minute, and at 81°F, they chirp 112 times per minute. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation.

Answer:

y=2x-50

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1} = \frac{112-106}{81-78} =\frac{6}{3} =2[/tex]

slope-intercept formula(substitute 81 for x, 112 for y, and 2 for m:

y=mx+b

112=2(81)+b

112=162+b

Then subtract 162 from both sides, and b=-50

Plug in all numbers into original equation

y=mx+b  m=2 b= -50

So u get y=2x-50

Answer:

y = (1/2)x + 25 or y = 0.5x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

I used a online calculator that is reliable.
