First write the equation:
1/2x + 5 = 6

Then subtract five from both sides:

1/2x = 1

Multiply both sides by 2:

x = 2

Equation :
1/2x +5 = 6

Subtract both sides by five:
1/2x = 1

Multipy by 2:
X=2

The slope of the line below is -2. Use the coordinates of the labeled point to find the point-slope equation of the line. (4, -6

r-ruslan [8.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The point-slope equation of the line is $y = -2x +2$ or $2x+y = 2$

<u>Solution: </u>

Let us assume that the slope is m and the y intercept of the line is b

Hence, $y=m x+b$ --------- (i)

y intercept means we need to find the value of y when x is 0

Here the line passes through point (4,-6) and slope m = (-2)

Now putting the point (4,-6) in equation (i) we get,

$\Rightarrow-6 = m\times4 +b$

$\Rightarrow-6 = (-2)\times4 +b$

$\Rightarrow-6 = -8 +b$

$\Rightarrow-6+8 =b$

$\Rightarrow b = 2$

So, the equation of the line will be will be $y = -2x +2$ or $2x+y = 2$

Human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20degreesF and a standard deviation of 0.62 degrees

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: The temperature that separates the top 7% with the bottom 93% is 99.12 degrees.

The z-score that corresponds to 93% is about 1.48. If we write the equation for the z-score, we can solve for the missing temperature.

The equation would be:
(x - 98.2) / 0.62 = 1.48
x - 98.2 = 0.9176
x = 99.12 degrees
