The equation of the new path would be y=1/3x+4.
Explanation
If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. The original equation is written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is the slope. In this equation, m=-3=-3/1.
In the new equation, the slope would be the opposite sign and flipped; this means it would be 1/3.
We can use the point given, the slope and slope-intercept form to write the equation of the new line:
y=mx+b
3=1/3(-3)+b
3=1/3(-3/1)+b
3=(-3/3)+b
3=-1+b
Add 1 to both sides:
3+1=-1+b+1
4=b
This makes the equation y=1/3x+4.

Minimum required sample size for a desired margin of error and confidence level when it is a proportion problem: n = (z2÷margin of error2)*p-hat*q-hat
The maximum value of p-hat*q-hat occurs where p-hat = .5 (found by taking the derivative of (p-hat)*(1-p-hat) and setting it equal to 0 to find the maximum. n = ( 2.5762( for 99% confidence interval)÷.0482 )*.5*.5 = 720.028 or 721
Dan's age is x.
Jack is three years older than Dan, so his age is x+3.
Harold is twice as old as Jack, so his age is 2(x+3).
Harold's age is five times Dan's age.
Jack is 5 years old.
