Rewrite the equation in standard form y - 6 = -1/2 (x-5)

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

---A cannot be negative, nor can it be a decimal or fraction

y - 6 = -1/2(x - 5)

Distribute the -1/2

y - 6 = -1/2x + 5/2

Add -1/2x to both sides

1/2x + y - 6 = 5/2

Add 6 to both sides

1/2x + y = 17/2

Multiply everything by 2 to get rid of the fractions

x + 2y = 17

Hope this helps!! :)

hello,

b) 62.47% of the students are between 14 and 18 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

mean = 15 and standard deviation = 2

student between 14 to 18

formula used z-score

for age 14 , z score

using z-table , p(z> -0.5)=0.3085

for age 18 , z score

using z-table , p(z< 1.5)=0.9332

p(-0.5< z< 1.5)=0.9332-0.3085 = 0.6247

thus, 62.47% of the students are between 14 and 18 years old.
