In a secured loan, collateral is a. valuable property that the borrower promises to give the lender in the event of default on the loan b. an agreement made in civil court agreeing that the borrower may be arrested in the event of default on the loan c. an agreement signed by a co-borrower promising to pay the loan in the event the primary borrower defaults on the loan d. and insurance policy taken out by the lender and paid for by the borrower to cover the lender from loss in the event of default

the correct answer is a

The answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a secured loan, collateral is - valuable property that the borrower promises to give the lender in the event of default on the loan.

When a person borrows money from the lender, he can provide a collateral, it is a kind of guarantee against the loan. The collateral value is sometimes more than the borrowed amount. Like- a person can keep his car as a collateral or any jewelry etc. This is because if in case the person is unable to pay back, the lender can sell off the collateral and recover his money.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
