Math Problem Statement
Biologists have noticed that the chirping of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 120 chirps per minute at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 171 chirps per minute at 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Find a linear equation that models the temperature T as a function of the number of chirps per minute N. T(N)= Temperature=
