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 116 chirps per minute at 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 175 chirps per minute at 87 degrees Fahrenheit.
Find a linear equation that models the temperature 𝑇 as a function of the number of chirps per minute 𝑁.
