Scientists Have Discovered That a Linear Relationship Exists Between the Amount

Multiple Choice

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) $M(t) =0.2 t+16$
B) $M(t) =5 t+16$
C) $M(t) =5 t+3$
D) $M(t) =0.2 t+3$
