Answer:
y = - x
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange 8x - 4y = 12 into this form
Subtract 4x from both sides
- 4y = - 8x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 4 )
y = 2x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 2
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
Since the line passes through the origin then c = 0
y = - x ← equation of perpendicular line
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the regression equation
predicts an adult’s height (y) given the individual’s mother’s height (x1), his or her father’s height (x2), and whether the individual is male (x3 = 1) or female (x3 = 0).
The coefficient of x1 = 0.32 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in mother.
Similarly coefficient of x2 = 0.42 represents the increase in height of the child due to one inch increase in father.
and coefficient of x3 = 5.31 represents the increase in height of the child due to being a male than a female.
