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

John is 5.83 blocks away from his home

Line l has a slope of 98. The line through which of the following pair of points is perpendicular to l?
zysi [14]

m =( Y2 - Y1)/ (X2-X1)

m =( 3-(-5))/ (-6-3)

m = - 8/9

I am assuming you meant a slope of 9/8 in your original question, so the points perpendicular to I are answer D.


Perpendicular means the slope is opposite reciprocal of your first slope given.

CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH THIS ASAP!!!
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that ∠ABC and ∠DBC are complementary angles, we know that adding them together should give us 90°. We can use this to solve for x.

6x+13+4x-3=90         [combine like terms]

10x+10=90                 [subtract both sides by 10]

10x=80                       [divide both sides by 10]

x=8

Now, we know that x=8.
