At 100°F, a certain Insect chirps at a rate of 97 times per minute, and at 102°F, they chirp 111 times per minute. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation.​

Answer:

y = 7x - 603

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by determining the slope:

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = 111 - 97/102 - 100 = 14/2 = 7,

Now we substitute the slope into the slope-intercept equation y  = mx + b, solving for the y-intercept [b]:

111 = 7(102) + b,

b = -603

Equation: y = 7x - 603
