Express the line in slope intercept form
this is done by making y the subject.
y = 3x/2 + 4
slope is 3/2
product of perpendicular lines is negative one
let me slope of the other line
m * 3/2 = - 1
m = - 2/3

Answer:

(-2, 4, -2)

x=-2, y=4, z=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the three equations:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\-2x+4z=-4\\x+2y=6$

And we want to find the value of each variable.

To solve this system, first look at it and consider what you should try to do.

So we can see that the second and third equations both have an x.

Therefore, we can isolate the variables for the second and third equation and then substitute them into the first equation to make the first equation all xs.

Therefore, let's first isolate the variable in the second and third equation.

Second Equation:

$-2x+4z=-4$

First, divide everything by -2 to simplify things:

$x-2z=2$

Subtract x from both sides. The xs on the left cancel:

$(x-2z)-x=2-x\\-2z=2-x$

Now, divide everything by -2 to isolate the z:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}$

So we've isolated the z variable. Now, do the same to the y variable in the third equation:

$x+2y=6$

Subtract x from both sides:

$2y=6-x$

Divide both sides by 2:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}$

Now that we've isolated the y and z variables, plug them back into the first equation. Therefore:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})-2(-\frac{2-x}{2})=-8$

Distribute the third term. The -2s cancel out:

$4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x)=-8$

Since there is still a fraction, multiply everything by 2 to remove it:

$2(4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x))=2(-8)$

Distribute:

$8x-(6-x)+2(2-x)=-16\\8x-6+x+4-2x=-16$

Combine like terms:

$8x+x-2x-6+4=-16\\7x-2=-16$

Add 2 to both sides:

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7:

$(7x)/7=(-14)/7\\x=-2$

Therefore, x is -2.

Now, plug this back into the second and third simplified equations to get the other values.

Second equation:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}\\ z=-\frac{2-(-2)}{2}\\z=-\frac{4}{2}\\z=-2$

Third equation:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}\\y=\frac{6-(-2)}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4$

Therefore, the solution is (-2, 4, -2)

General formula for a simple linear regression :

y = ab + c

Where ;

y = predicted variable ; a = slope / gradient

b = predictor / independent variable ; c = intercept

From the result obtained from the calculator :

y = -0.01246X + 74.65552

Correlation Coefficient is used to measure the strength of relationship between linear variables.

The regression Coefficient obtained is - 0.20

This shows that there is a weak negative correlation between the age at auction and the price at which painting is sold. This is because the negative sign means that value of y decreases as x increases or vice versa, however, due to a correlation vale which is closer to 0 than 1 or - 1, we can conclude that the negative relationship between the variables is weak.
