A company is producing a candy bar with an average weight of 58 grams and a standard deviation of 2 grams. To pass inspection an
d be boxed to sell, the company has stated that the weight of an individual bar must fall within the middle 99.7% of all the candy bar weights. Assuming the weights are normally distributed and with the mean in the middle, plot a line segment that represents the range of weights that will pass inspection.

Answer:
y+5=-3/4(x+6)
or in slope intercept
y= -3/4x-38/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope we use the slope formula and substitute (x,y) points in it as shown below:
Now that we have the slope, plug in the slope and choose one point to plug into the point slope formula. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.
(y--5)=-3/4(x--6)
y+5=-3/4(x+6)
y+5=-3/4x-18/4
y=-3/4x-18/4-20/4
y= -3/4x-38/4
