Answer:
x = 
if you consider doing decimal form x = 0.58027921. . .
Step-by-step explanation:
Take logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.
Y = -3/2x + 4...slope is -3/2
A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So that means the slope we will need is 2/3...see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign.
Now we use y = mx + b....slope(m) = 2/3....(3,9)...x = 3 and y = 9.
Time to sub...we r looking for b, the y intercept.
9 = 2/3(3) + b
9 = 2 + b
9 - 2 = b
7 = b
so the perpendicular equation is : y = 2/3x + 7...but we need it in Ax + By = C form....
y = 2/3x + 7....multiply by common denominator of 3 to get rid of fractions
3y = 2x + 21...subtract 2x from both sides
-2x + 3y = 21....<== ur answer...normally, I would have multiplied this by -1 to make x positive...but that is not an answer choice
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%.
6+2/3% <--- Given
(6+2/3)/100 <--- Definition of percent
(20/3)/100 <--- Putting the top into an improper fraction
20/300 <--- Dividing the fractions
1/15 <--- Simplifying the fraction
Hope this helps!
