Hurricanes are accompanied by heavy rainfalls and if left unchecked, causes flooding. The function of canals is to diffuse accumulated rainwater and direct it to greater bodies of water.

Determine an equation of a perpendicular line but with the same y intercept

Open bracket

A linear equation is represented with:

Where


By comparison:


So, the slope of
is m
Because the new line is perpendicular to
, the relationship between their slopes is:

Where
slope of the first equation
slope of the second equation
Substitute m for
in 

Hence, the slope of the new equation is: 
From the question, we understand that they have the same y intercept.
So, the equation of the new equation is:

The French is the correct answer.
Match the following:
a. mangrove 3. a small tropical tree that grows in wetlands near salt water
b. land degradation 2. reduced ability of the soil to support life
c. hectare 1. (ha) a unit of measure equal to roughly 2.5 acres or exactly 10,000 square meters
d. salinization 4. the development of higher than normal salt content in the soil
