So she could figure out the price of each apple was.
If you add the standard deviation to the average, it is 14.84. Because Marcus's score was lower than that, he will not receive a certificate.
I think this should be right for the reason and the calculation.
Let's have this equation equal y first. All we have to do is add y to both sides and subtract 4 from both sides.
5x-4=y
Now, to get a parallel line, the y intercept has to change. The y intercept (the -4 in the equation) can be an infinite amount of number but -4.
Let's choose 6. We would have 5x+6=y or you could put it in the way the other equation was, 5x-y=-6.
