The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have the point (8, -4) and the slope m = -56. Substitute:

$y-(-4)=-56(x-8)\\\\\boxed{y+4=-56(x-8)}$

y + 4 = -5/6 (x + 8)

(i had the same question on a k12 quiz)

if its actually -56 then the equation would be

y + 4 = -56 (x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(412,68)$
