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

Give one example of a form of government that is currently being used in the world today.
Kisachek [45]

Hey there! I'm happy to help you!

One prominent form of government is the communist government, which is currently being used in countries such as China and North Korea.

Another type of government is the capitalist government, which is used by many global countries such as the United States, Russia, and South Korea.

These two governments really are a spectrum, because there can be some countries that are completely free market or that are completely communist. There are spots in between such as socialism.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
