The slope is 9/3 which can be simplified into 3/1
In linear change, the two variables keep increasing or decreasing at the same speed.
Answer:
The least squares method results in values of the y-intercept and the slope, that minimizes the sum of the squared deviations between the observed (actual) value and the fitted value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The method of least squares works under these assumptions
- The best fit for a data collection is a function (sometimes called curve).
- This function, is such that allows the minimal sum of difference between each observation and the expected value.
- The expected values are calculated using the fitting function.
- The difference between the observation, and the expecte value is know as least square error.
To write the equation of a line I need slope and y intercept (0,y)
I have y intercept (0,7) of +7 as written in the equation
The equation y=-5/4x + 11/4 has a slope of -5/4
To get perpendicular slope is negated reciprocal
so take -5/4 and flip it -4/5 and change the sign (in this case negative to positive) 4/5
so the new equation is y=4/5x +7 (third one)
