Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(5,3)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 3
(8,-2)..x2 = 8 and y2 = -2
now we sub
slope = (-2 - 3) / (8 - 5) = -5 / 3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5/3
use either of ur points..(5,3)...x = 5 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = -5/3(5) + b
3 = -25/3 + b
3 + 25/3 = b
9/3 + 25/3 = b
34/3 = b
ur equation is y = -5/3x + 34/3...but we need it in standard form
y = -5/3x + 34/3
5/3x + y = 34/3
5x + 3y = 34 <=== standard form
Answer:
1) take the first part of the equation and work it by multiplying (x+2) by 3
3(x+2)+x
3x +6+x
2)put the answer you got into the question you were given
3x + 6+x =2x +16
3)group the x variables and the non x variables
3x +x -2x =16 -6
4) Now work the equation you have
3x+x-2x=16-6
4x-2x=16-6
2x=16-6
2x=10
5) you divide both sides by the x variable
2x=10
2x/2 =10/2
x=5
therefore x is 5
Answer:
The proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars is 0.0099
Step-by-step explanation:
A set of electric toothbrush prices are normally distributed with a mean of 87 dollars and a standard deviation of 8 dollars.

Standard deviation = 
We are supposed to find proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars i.e.P(104.60<x<108.20)

At x = 104.60

Z= 2.2
At x=108.20

Z= 2.65
Refer the z table for p value :
P(x<108.20)-P(x<104.60)=P(Z<2.65)-P(Z<2.2)=0.9960-0.9861=0.0099
Hence The proportion of electric toothbrush prices are between 104.60 dollars and 108.20 dollars is 0.0099
