Biologists have found that the number of chirps some crickets make per minute is related to temperature. The relationship is very close to being linear. When crickets chirp 124 times per minute, it is about 68 degrees Fahrenheit. When they chirp 172 times per minute, it is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. a.) Write a linear model (in slope-intercept form) of this situation. b.) How warm is it when the crickets are chirping 150 times per minute?
