From the attached graphic, Half-life = ln (.5) / k
Half-life =.693147 / <span>0.1142
= </span><span><span><span>6.0695884413 </span> days
The value of "k" should be negative and should have units associated with it.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call y the number of patients treated each week
Let's call x the week number.
If the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear then the equation that models this situation will have the following form:
Where m is the slope of the equation and b is the intercept with the x-axis.
If we know two points on the line then we can find the values of m and b.
We know that During week 5 of flu season, the clinic saw 90 patients, then we have the point:
(5, 90)
We know that In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 60 patients, then we have the point:
(10, 60).
Then we can find m and b using the followings formulas:
and
In this case: and
Then:
And
Finally the function that shows the number of patients seen each week at the clinic is:
