Paul wants to write equations in the form y=mx + b for the lines passing through
point d that are parallel and perpendicular to line h. first he finds the slopes of these
two lines. what could he do next to find the y-intercepts?

Substitute the slope  and the coordinates of point D in the equation of the line  y=mx+b and then solve for b in each equation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The first step is calculate the slopes of these two lines. Remember that if two lines are parallel then the slopes are the same (m1=m2) and if two lines are perpendicular then the slopes is equal to m1*m2=-1

The second step is substitute the slope m2 and the coordinates of point D in the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y=mx+b and then solve for b in each equation

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
