Provide an appropriate response.When the temperature T (in degrees Celsius) of a certain laboratory animal is reduced, its heart rate r (in beats per minute) decreases. At a temperature of 37°C, the animal had a heart rate of 200, and at a temperature of  its heart rate was 140. If r is a linear function of T for 26 ? T ? 38, (a) determine this function and (b) determine the heart rate at a temperature of 30°C.

What will be an ideal response?


(a)r = 12T - 244(b)116
