Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the following points through which the line passes:

(-6, 0) and (0, 4). (0, 4) is the y-intercept.

As we go from (-6, 0) to (0, 4), x increases by 6 and y increases by 4. Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise/run = 4/6 = 2/3.

The equation of the line in the form y = mx + b is y = (2/3)x + 4.

We're looking for a scalar function $f(x,y)$ such that $\nabla f(x,y)=\vec F(x,y)$ . That is,

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2x-6y$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-6x+6y-7$

Integrate the first equation with respect to $x$ :

$f(x,y)=x^2-6xy+g(y)$

Differentiate with respect to $y$ :

$-6x+6y-7=-6x+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=6y-7$

Integrate with respect to $y$ :

$g(y)=3y^2-7y+C$

So $\vec F$ is indeed conservative with the scalar potential function

$f(x,y)=x^2-6xy+3y^2-7y+C$

where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.

The tree diagram of the problem above is attached
There are four outcomes of the two events,

First test - Cancer, Second Test - Cancer, the probability is 0.0396
First test - Cancer, Second Test - No Cancer, the probability is 0.0004
First test - No Cancer, Second Test - There is cancer, the probability is 0.0096
First test - No cancer, Second Test - No cancer, the probability is 0.9054

The probability of someone picked at random has cancer given that test result indicates cancer is $\frac{0.0396}{0.0396+0.0096}= \frac{33}{41}$

The probability of someone picked at random has cancer given that test result indicates no cancer is $\frac{0.0396}{0.0004+0.9504} = \frac{99}{2377}$
