The equation y=8.50x + 33 can be used to estimate the monthly premium y of a $250,000 term life insurance policy for a male smoker who is more than 40 year old. In this equation, x is the age of a man above 40. For example, a 60 year old male smoker, x =20. Estimate the monthly insurance premium for a 48-year old male smoker. (Show all work)

$101

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

age above 40

Required

Insurance for 48 years old

First, we solve for x

So, we have:

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

3

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3
