Answer: y = 3.5 x+ 43.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the number of years after 1990

Thus, we get the table that is used to find the equation will be,

x             0                  2                4               6                8

y             45                51               57            61               75

Let the equation that shows the above data,

y = b + a x ---------(1)

\text{Where, }a=\frac{\sum y \sum x^2-\sum x \sum xy}{n(\sum x^2)-(\sum x)^2}

\text{And, }b = \frac{\sum xy - \sum x\sum y}{n\sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2}

By the above table,

\sum x = 20

\sum xy = 1296

\sum x^2 = 120

\sum y = 289

By substituting these values in the above value of a and b,

We get b = 43.8 and a = 3.5

Substitute this value in equation (1)

we get, the equation that shows the given data is,

y = 3.5 x + 43.8

⇒ Option (3) is correct.

What is an equation of a line that passes through the point (10,5) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=5/4x-2?
Maurinko [17]

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -4/5

(10,5)...x = 10 and y = 5

now sub into the formula and find b, the y int

5 = -4/5(10) + b

5 = -40/5 + b

5 = -8 + b

5 + 8 = b

13 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -4/5x + 13 <===

Hope this helps!
