Question:

In certain parts of the world, the number of deaths N per week have been observed to be linearly related to the average concentration x of sulfur dioxide in the air. Suppose there are 97 deaths when x = 100 mg/m3 and 110 deaths when x = 500 mg/m3.

a. What is the functional relationship between N and x?

b. Use the function in part (a) to find the number of deaths per week when x = 300 mg/m3. What concentration of sulfur dioxide corresponds to 100 deaths per week?
