The temperature, t, in degrees Fahrenheit, can be found by counting the number of cricket chirps, c, heard in 14 seconds and then adding 40. The equation t = c + 40 models the relationship between the temperature and the number of cricket chirps. What is true about the graph that represents this real-world scenario? Check all that apply.
