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

In the hypothesis that C. stellatus (a species of barnacle) is competitively excluded from the lower intertidal zone by B. balan
lord [1]
<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>

Explanation:

The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.

All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.

Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.

<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.

Describe the chemical components of DNA.
Slav-nsk [51]

DNA is composed of nucleotides, which are composed of three parts:

1. A five carbon carbohydrate (pentose)

Pentose is classified as a monosaccharide (simple carbohydrate), and its molecular formula is represented by (CH_{2} O)n. They are water soluble molecules with sweet taste. Monosaccharides may have from three carbon atoms (trioses) to six (hexoses). In DNA is present pentose (5 carbon atoms)

2. A nitrogenous base

Nitrogenous bases are ring-shaped compounds that contain nitrogen in their molecular structure. They are classified into two groups: purines and pyrimidines

The purine bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G). They are larger and contain more than one ring in their structure,.

The pyrimidines, cytosine (C), uracil (U) and thymine (T), are smaller and composed of a single ring.

3. One or more phosphate groups

A phosphate consists of a trivalent anion that contains one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular formula is expressed by (PO_{4} ^{-3}).

Why is the term "nuclear envelope" is more correct than the term "nuclear membrane" ?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Why is the term "nuclear envelope" is more correct than the term "nuclear membrane"?

Nuclear envelope simply means the nucleus serves as a house to genetic material (DNA), it contains the genetic material that is transferred from one generation to another
