Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
First convert the equation to slope-intercept form:
2x - 5y = 7
-5y = -2x + 7
y = 2/5 x - 7/5
So the slope of the given line is 2/5.
So the slope of a perpendicular line will be -1/ 2/5 = -5/2.
Take B:
5x + 2y = 3
2y = -5x + 3
y = -5/2.
So its B.
Answer:
Sample size minimum is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
given that you want to create a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of .5.
The population standard deviation is equal to 1.5
i.e. 
Confidence level = 99%
Since population std deviation is known, we can use Z critical value for finding margin of error
Z critical value for 99% = 2.58
Margin of error = 
Equate this to 0.5 and solve for n

We can assume that B leaves Los Angeles not at noon but at 2pm Eastern Time, so 5 hours later than A leaves New York.
In 5 hours A covers 5*40=200 miles. So, A and B together should cover 3,000-200=2,800 miles.
Combined rate = 40 + 60 = 100 miles per hour.
To cover 2,800 miles they'll need 2,800/100=28 hours.
2pm Eastern Time on Monday + 28 hours = 6pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.
Answer: 6:00pm on Tuesday
Ok I almost have the answer. Do you want me to explain how I did it?
