Answer:

Displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish point 6\sqrt{2} blocks in<u> North-West</u> direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows the movement of person and standard direction taken.

AB represents the movement of person 6 blocks towards north and BC represents the movement of person 6 blocks towards west. A to C defines the distance traveled by the person.

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance covered between two points.

Here, displacement is the distance between point A and C.

Since, angle at B is right angle So, ΔABC is a right angled triangle.

Pythagoras theorem states that in a right angled triangle sum of square of base and perpendicular is equal to the square of hypotenuse.  

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we get

(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2

(AC)^2=(6)^2+(6)^2

(AC)^2=36+36

AC=\sqrt{72}

AC=6\sqrt{2}

Thus, displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish point 6\sqrt{2} blocks in <u>North-West</u> direction.

For the answer to the question above, A person drives north 6 blocks, then drives west 6 blocks. the displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish in <span>8.49 blocks</span> in a Northwest <span>direction.
The Solution:
</span>A^2+B^2=C^2

6*6+6*6 = sqrt(72)

Given: x - 6.3333 ≤ 1.5 .
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x or (-\infty, 47/6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 6.3333 = 6 1/3 = 19/3 = 38/6.

Also, note that 1.5 = 1 1/2 = 3/2 = 9/6.

So, the inequality is really equal to x-38/6.

We can then add 38/6 to both sides to get x.

So, the solution is x, or in interval notation, (-\infty, 47/6]

How can you identify a linear nonproportional relationship from a table, a graph, and an equation?
Zarrin [17]
On-proportional linear relationships can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where b is not 0, m represents the constant rate of change or slope of the line, and b represents the y-intercept. The graph of a non-proportional linear relationship is a straight line that does not pass through the origin.
