The speed of sound through air is linearly related to the temperature of the air. If sound travels at 339 m/sec at 0°C and at 357 m/sec at 20°C, construct a linear model relating the speed of sound (s) and the air temperature (t). Interpret the slope of this model. Construct a linear model relating the speed of sound (s) and the air temperature (t). (Type an equation using t as the variable.)
