The smallest number of trips he must make is 5. Since he can carry only 3 bottles per trip, 5 trips would allow him to transport 15 bottles.
Though it might seem like 4 trips could suffice, as 4 times 3 is 12, that's one bottle short of 13.
Hence, an additional trip is needed to carry the last bottle, totaling 5 trips.
When the present value and number of periods remain the same, but the interest rate is reduced, this results in decreased monthly payments required. Thus, option a) decrease the monthly payment stands true. Monthly payments will rise if the interest rate increases, and they cannot be erased.

Manny's assertion is flawed; his reasoning lacks adequate support for his claim.
The equation of the perpendicular line can be identified by determining its slope and applying the given point within the standard formula.
Standard equation: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
m*m'=-1
where m' indicates the slope of the perpendicular line
m denotes the slope of the original line
m = -coefficient of x/coefficient of y = -4/-3 = 4/3
m' = -3/4
Substituting the point (3, -2):
y+2 = -3/4*(x-3)
4y+8 = -3x+9
Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is: 3x+4y-1=0
