Answer:

t = 3c - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between c and t is linear as the increase of the value of t is uniform for each unit increase in the value of c.

Now, any two points on the graph of the t = f(c) equation are sufficient to determine the equation.

Let the points are (2,1) and (3,4).

So, using two points formula of straight line we get the equation is  

[tex]\frac{t - 4}{4 - 1} = \frac{c - 3}{3 - 2}[/tex]

⇒ t - 4 = 3(c - 3)

⇒ t - 4 = 3c - 9

⇒ t = 3c - 5 (Answer)
