Answer:
5.83 blocks away from his home
Step-by-step explanation:
If he travels 5 blocks south and 3 blocks west, the distance from his house considered along with the distances travelled gives a right angled triangle whose opposite side and adjacent sides are the distances travelled north and west.
The distance from his house after moving 3 blocks west is the hypotenuse side. As such, the distance may be computed using Pythagoras' theorem. Let the distance from his house be G
G^2 = 5^2 + 3^2
G^2 = 25 + 9
= 34
G = √34
=5.83

Hey there!
To solve this system of equations, you will need to get one of the terms in both equations to cancel out to zero. If there isn't a term that you can cancel out, you can multiply either or both equations to make that term. There's no wrong way to do this, just as long as you make sure that you double check whether your should add or subtract. This is easier shown than explained, so refer below:
<span> x + y = +1
5x + y = –6
</span>–1(x + y = +1)
5x + y = –6
–x – y = –1
5x + y = –6
You can see that once we combine these equations by adding, the y term will become 0, eliminating it. This is necessary for solving the system, so make sure you do it. Also, remember to distribute the term that you need to to all of the numbers in the equation! After that, just solve for the variable that's still in the equation.
–x – y = –1
+ 5x + y = –6
4x + 0y = –7
4x = –7
x = –1.75
Now, just plug the value we found for x into either one of your equations in the original system as it's presented in your problem.
x + y = 1
–1.75 + y = 1
+1.75 +1.75
y = 2.75
All that's left to do is check your point (–1.75, 2.75). If it's true for both equations, your answer is correct!
–1.75 + 2.75 = 1
<span>5(–1.75) + 2.75 = –6
</span>(–1.75, 2.75) is the solution to your system.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
The two are perpendicular to each other because the two slopes are negative reciprocals
(Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
First slope:
( 1 - (-1)) / (-11 - (-6))
2/-5
Second slope:
(-13 - (-8)) / (-5 - (-3))
-5/-2 or 5/2
You know when two aliens are perpendicular when you multiply the two slopes and get -1 as the product
-2/5 X 5/2 = -1
Thus the two lines are perpendicular to each other.
