A graphing calculator can do a linear regression on these points very easily. The y-intercept is 107.
_____
If you want to do this by hand, you can use the 2-point form of the equation for a line, then evaluate for x=0.
.. y = (100 -102)/(35 -25)*(x -25) +102
.. y =-2/10*(0 -25) +102
.. y = 107

Answer:
y = - x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept fprm is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x + 7 is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
, thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation of the perpendicular line
To find c substitute (3, - 4) into the partial equation
- 4 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 1 = - 3
y = - x - 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
