Entomologists studying crickets have found that the number of chirps per minute, C
C
, that a snowy tree cricket makes is linearly dependent on the temperature,
T
T
, in Fahrenheit.

If the temperature is
34
34
degrees then the crickets do not chirp at all, and when it is
52
52
degrees they chirp about
63
63
times per minute.

a) Construct a linear equation that models the number of chirps,
C
