Let m and c represent constants with m nonzero. What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y=m(x+c) and with the same y-i

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$y = -\frac{1}{m}x + mc$

Explanation:

Given

$y = m(x + c)$

Required

Determine an equation of a perpendicular line but with the same y intercept

$y = m(x + c)$

Open bracket

$y = mx + mc$

A linear equation is represented with:

$y = ax + b$

Where

$a = slope$

$b = y\ intercept$

By comparison:

$a = m$

$b = mc$

So, the slope of $y = m(x + c)$ is m

Because the new line is perpendicular to $y = m(x + c)$ , the relationship between their slopes is:

$a_2 = -\frac{1}{a_1}$

Where

$a_1 =$ slope of the first equation

$a_2 =$ slope of the second equation

Substitute m for $a_1$ in $a_2 = -\frac{1}{a_1}$

$a_2 = -\frac{1}{m}$

Hence, the slope of the new equation is: $-\frac{1}{m}$

From the question, we understand that they have the same y intercept.

So, the equation of the new equation is:

$y = -\frac{1}{m}x + mc$

Which statement best describes the spread of Hinduism? Hinduism did not spread outside of its homeland in India. The spread of H

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Hinduism did not spread outside of its homeland in India.

Explanation:

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in existence and it is also one of the major religions by having a very large number of followers. This religion is considered a national religion as well, and this is due to the fact that almost all of its followers live in one nation. Basically, this religion emerged in the Indian subcontinent and remained there.

Hinduism is the only polytheistic of the major religions. It came to be because of the mixing of the cultures and religious beliefs of the native Dravidians and migrating Aryans. By merging both religions, Hinduism arose and spread out all over the historic territory of India. With the rise of Islam, Hinduism lost some of its followers, mostly in what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh, while its followers remained almost exclusively in modern day India. Unlike the other major religions that managed to spread out of their cradles in one way or another, Hinduism did not.

Explain how these geological processes and interactions have changed Earth's surface through the years. Be sure to use evidence

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The geological process and interactions like earthquakes, volcanic eruption, cyclone etc, are responsible for the changes because these are very fast and sudden.

Explanation:

It is 4.5 billion years that Earth has been formed and there have been changes since then. Earthquakes, volcanic eruption, cyclone etc, are some of the geological process and interactions are the reasons for change in earth's surface. An earthquake usually split or divide the surface into many pieces in a very few seconds. While lava erupted from a volcano makes the land fertile by spreading around within minutes whereas a day of rainfall can lead to a flood in the neighborhoods and results in many losses.
