After deleting the observations 30 and 42
new sum
new mean
Thslope of the given line 2x+6y = 7 is -1/3
Hence the line which is parallel to the above line is
y = (-1/3)x+c
That is the y intercept is (0,c) and the x intercept is (3c,0)
Using the distance formula
d2 = (0-3c)2 + (3c-0)2
= 10c2
since the distance is 10 is given,
100 = 10c2
therefore c = 10
Since two values are possible, two lines can be drawn.
