Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form to get y = –1/3x + 2. The old slope is –1/3 and the new slope is 3. Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other: m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b or 5 = 3(1) + b, so b = 2

So y = 3x + 2

The table containing the data needed for this problem is attached on this answer. This data is used to determine the best fit line that is extracted from this multitude of points given. Best fit line is described as a line in which the variation of each point to the line is the minimum. We plot the data using MS Excel and is shown in the figure attached as well. We determine the trendline of the graph by the function in MS Excel. The equation of the trendline is expressed as y = -26.059x + 722.63 in which the coefficient of determination, r^2 = 0.8947.
