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

Elza [17]

Consider the right triangle ABC with legs AB=4, AC=3 and hypotenuse BC=5. Angle B has
$\sin B=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{3}{5}$ and
$\cos B = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{4}{5}$ .

Since O lies in second quadrant $\cos O\ \textless \ 0$ and
$\cos O= -\cos B =- \frac{4}{5}$ .
Answer: $\cos O=- \frac{4}{5}$ .

Suppose that 70% of all Americans agree that a candidate is not trustworthy. A survey finds the 116 out of 200 agree that a cand

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Prob = 0.00009 = 0.009% , Less Likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Binomial Distribution, Prob = N c r . ( P )^ r . ( Q ) ^ (n -r) .

,P = success probability, ie candidate considered be trustworthy = 70% = 0.7; N = trials = 200 ; Q = failure probability, ie non trustworthy = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3 r = no. of success = 116

Pr = 200c116 . (0.7)^116 . (0.3)^(200 - 116) = 200c116 (0.7)^116 (0.3)^84 = 0.00009 = 0.009%

Less probability means Less Likely

A) The amount financed is the purchase amount less the down payment.
$2,574.54 -574.54 = $2000.00

B) The finance charge is the total of payments less the amount financed.
18*$121.00 -2000.00 = $178.00

C) The APR is calculated by a financial calculator to be 10.96%.
