Answer:
y = - 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallels line have the same slope, when an equation is in the form y= mx + b, m is the slope. In this problem slope = - 2
Now with the slope what is missing is the y-intercept, the problem says that the line contains the point (-2, 5), replacing that point in the equation you can solve it to find the y-intercept
y = mx + b
5 = (-2)(-2) + b
5 = 4 + b
1 + b
y = - 2x +1
The first way to try to fix this is to apply logarithm to the observations on the dependent variable. This is going to make the dependent variable with high degree of kurtosis normal.
Note that sometimes, the resulting values of the variable will be negative. Do not worry about this, as it is not a problem. It does not affect the regression coefficients, it only affects the regression intercept, which after transformation, will be of no interest.
1.) 6x-8y=18, 2x+8y=6 → Multiplication property of equality
2.) 8x=24 → Addition property of equality
3.) x=3 → Division property of equality
4.) 3(3)-4y=9 → Substitution property of equality
5.) 9-4y=9 → Simplify
6.) -4y=0 → Subtraction property of equality
7.) y=0 → Division property of equality
