Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

(4 + x)² = 8² + x²

16 + 8x + x² = 64 + x²

subtract x² and 16 from each side of the equation:

8x = 48

divide both sides by 8:

x = 6

Answer:

A. $y=-\dfrac{8}{7}x-\dfrac{18}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $y=mx+b$ be the equation of the perpendicular line.

Two perpendicular lines have slopes with product equal to -1. The slope of the given line is $\frac{7}{8}$ Hence,

$\dfrac{7}{8}\cdot m=-1\\ \\m=-\dfrac{8}{7}$

is the slope of needed line.

This line passes through the point (-4,2), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

$2=-\dfrac{8}{7}\cdot (-4)+b\\ \\b=2-\dfrac{32}{7}=-\dfrac{18}{7}$

Therefore, the equation of the line is

$y=-\dfrac{8}{7}x-\dfrac{18}{7}$
