Clay went for a run to prepare for a long distance race co ran 6 miles directly north and then 8 miles directly west. From there, he ran the diagonal distance back to his house. How many total miles did Clay run?

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

so he went 6 miles, then 8 miles, then diagonally home.

which means he ran in a triangle.

Use the Pythagorean theory.

6*6=36

8*8=64

36+64=100

what square root = to 100?

10

so the questions is total moles did clay run.

6+8+10=24 miles

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
