Answer:

y = 3/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 2x + 3y = 18

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -2/3x + 6.

slope = m = -2/3

The slope of the perpendicular line is negative inverse.

m = 3/2.

Equation of the perpendicular line:

y = 3/2x + a.

Use the given point of (-4, -7) to find a:

-7 = (3/2)(-4) + a

a=−1.

y = 3/2x - 1

Answer:

a) $t=\frac{18.4-17.5}{\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{45}}}=2.744$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=45-1=44$

The critical value for this case is $t_{\alpha}=1.68$ since the calculated value is higher than the critical we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 18.4
