If you are asked to find the 85th percentile, you are being asked to find a data value associated with an area of 0.85 to its left.
Percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. For example, the 30 th percentile is the value below which 20% of the observations may be found.

What's an equation that the passes through (-6,4) and is parallel to y=1/2x+8

deff fn [24]

By definition, if two lines share the same gradient, they are said to be parallel. So, we know for this equation, it must have a gradient of 1/2.

Now, since the point (-6, 4) passes through the line, we know it must satisfy the equation. Since we have a gradient/slope and a point, we can use the point-gradient form:

$y - y_1 = \frac{1}{2}(x - x_1)$ , where $(x_1, y_1)$ represents the points being passed through.

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{2}(x + 6)$
$2y - 8 = x + 6$
$2y = x + 14$
$y = \frac{1}{2}x + 7$
