Scientists have discovered that a linear relationship exists between the amount of flobberworm mucus secretions and the air temperature. When the temperature is 65°F, the flobberworms each secrete 16 grams of mucus a day; when the temperature is 95°F, they each secrete 22 grams of mucus a day. Find a function M(t) that gives the amount of mucus secreted on a given day, where t is the temperature of that day in degrees Fahrenheit.
a. M(t) = 0.2t + 16
b. M(t) = 5t + 16
c. M(t) = 5t + 3
d. M(t) = 0.2t + 3
d. M(t) = 0.2t + 3
