Hey there! :)

Perpendicular to y = 1/4x - 9 ; passes through (1, 1)

Using y=mx+b, we can find the slope! 1/4 is in the "m" spot from slope-intercept form, so we know that 1/4 is our slope.

However, all equations perpendicular to a line must have a negative reciprocal of the slope. Keep in mind that a negative reciprocal is simply a number that is flipped and is either given a negative or gets a negative removed.

1/4 now turns into -4, thus giving us a new slope of -4.

Now, using this equation y-y₁=m(x-x₁)   , let's plug & chug! Note : use (1, 1) as your x/y & -4 as your slope.

y - (1) = -4(x - 1)

Simplify.

y - 1 = -4x + 4

~Hope I helped! :)

First you have to change the x value to 4x because for it to be perpendicular it has to be opposite slope so the equation is y=4x-9

List three reasons why biodiverstiy conservation is important
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The result of loss of topsoil are loss in fertility of soil, loss of water, crop production and hardened soil surface. Therefore, the correct answer to the above question is option A, B, C and D.  

Explanation:

When there is a loss of top layer of soil from the earth by any means, natural or artificial, it is known as soil erosion. The soil from one place gets detached and is transported to another area. Planting more and more trees is the one of the way to stop soil erosion as the roots of the plants hold the soil.  

When the soil from area is removed there is a loss of production in crop due to various reasons. The most fertile part of the soil occurs in the uppermost part.  Therefore, its removal has negative impact.

Living near the ocean is great because the weather is mild. this is because
Zinaida [17]

Hi,

"This is because water has a high heat capacity, which means it absorbs a lot of energy in order to increase in temperature (thus releases a lot of energy when it decreases in temperature). This means water can absorb a great deal of the energy on hot days, keeping the surrounding air cooler, and release a lot of energy to the air on cool days, keeping the air warmer"

Have a great day!
