D. Rock type

Explanation:

The major factor that influences the strength of rocks is the rock type.

Different rock types are known to have their own relative strength.

Based on their strength, rocks are classified into hard and soft rocks.

Soft rock types are dominated by sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed by accumulation and deposition of sediments. They are often layered.

Metamorphic and igneous rocks are usually classified as hard rocks. These rocks forms under very high temperature and pressure conditions.

In engineering applications, the soft rocks not desired for construction purposes although they have their own unique material functions.

Hard rocks are used for heavy duty and durable constructions like dams and bridges.

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:

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

How Birmingham is developed

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: Birmingham has evolved from a minuscule 7th century Anglo Saxon hamlet that was located on the edge of the Forest of Arden on the Fringe of early Mercia to a major city in 2020. This has happened by a combination of immigration, civic pride, and innovation. In total, Birmingham has seen 1400 years of growth.
