(Modeling) In Exercise, assume that a linear relationship exists between the two quantities.

Cricket Chirping At 68°F, a certain species of cricket chirps 112 times per minute. At 46°F, the same cricket chirps 24 times per minute.

(a) Express the number of chirps, y, as a linear function of the Fahrenheit temperature.

(b) If the temperature is 60°F, how many times will the cricket chirp per minute?

(c) If you count the number of cricket chirps in one-half minute and hear 40 chirps, what is the temperature?
