$data->results[0]->formatted_address;
dd($lt);

Two things,
when you use the newQuery() you will still need to get() the result like such
$scholars = (new Scholar)->newQuery()->select('*')->get();
This however will retrieve a collection and not a single result so you will need to loop over this.
foreach($scholars as $scholar){
$lt = $scholars->lat;
dd($lt);
}
