Write an equation perpendicular to the line y=1/4x -9 and passes through (1,1)

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

Why are bones hard and elastic at the same time? Explain your answer.
Alborosie

Explanation:

Bones provide support for our bodies and help form our shape. Although they're very light, bones are strong enough to support our entire weight.

Bones also protect the organs in our bodies. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column. The ribs form a cage that shelters the heart and lungs, and the pelvis helps protect the bladder, part of the intestines, and in women, the reproductive organs.

Bones are made up of a framework of a protein called , with a mineral called calcium phosphate that makes the framework hard and strong. Bones store calcium and release some into the bloodstream when it's needed by other parts of the body. The amounts of certain vitamins and minerals that you eat, especially vitamin D and calcium, directly affect how much calcium is stored in the bones.

inna [77]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

CRISPR-Cas9 is a gene-editing mechanism that is harnessed from bacteria’s immune system used to cut apart foreign genetic material such as that of bacteriophages. CRISPR-Ca9 has a guide sequence that is used to identify the target sequence. The Cas9 enzyme cuts this target DNA and is replaced with the required piece.

In cancer treatment, the mutated DNA can be replaced, this way, with the wild type.
