If a cricket produces 30 chirps per minute at
50F and 58 chirps per minute at 62F, what
is the slope of the graph of the linear equation
describing the number of chirps per minute N
as a function of the temperature T?

anonymous · Answer

find the slop of the line between (50,30)and (62,58) using 
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

anonymous · Answer

chirps per minute means you put chirps on top, minutes on the bottom

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{58-30}{62-50}=\frac{28}{12}$$ if i am not mistake.  can reduce the fraction
