Question

theres a roughly linear relationship between the number of times a species of cricket will chirp in minute and the temperature outside. for a certain type of cricket, this relationship can be expressed the formula $t = 39 + 0.26c$, where $t$ represents the temperature in degrees fahrenheit and $c$ represents the number of times the cricket chirps in one minute. what is the meaning of the $c$-value when $t = 78$?
answer
○ the expected temperature in degrees fahrenheit if the cricket has chirped 78 times per minute.
○ the change in temperature in degrees fahrenheit for each additional cricket chirp in one minute.
○ the number of times the cricket could be expected to chirp in one minute if its $78^{\circ}$ f.
○ the expected temperature in degrees fahrenheit if the cricket has chirped 0 times per minute.

Explanation:

Answer:

The number of times the cricket could be expected to chirp in one minute if it's $78^{\circ}$ F.
