(3,4) and (-5,6) are "coordinate planes".
These appear in algebra and math when you're graphing. These coordinate planes consist of "x" and "y" (x,y). The x's (which are 3 and -5 in your situation) should be graphed accordingly using the x-axis and the y's (which are 4 and 6 in your situation) should be graph accordingly using the y-axis.
Answer:
the amount of garbage started to increase around 2005 or 2007
29.52/2.4 =12.3
so 2.4 groups will go into 29.52, 12.3 times
Well first, you have to know the distance formula. You plug the coordinates into it and you get the answer.

√1² + -7² = d
d = 7.1
Define i as a unit vector in the eastern direction.
Define j as a unit vector in the northern direction.
Part I
Because the wind is blowing west, its velocity vector is
-23i mph or as (-23, 0) mph
Because the plane is traveling north, its velocity vector is
200j mph or as (0, 200) mph
Part II
The actual velocity of the plane is the vector sum of the plane and wind velocities.
That is,
200j - 23i or (-23, 200) mph
Part III
The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of its vector.
The ground speed is
√[200² + (-23)²] = 201.32 mph
The ground speed of the plane is 201.3 mph (nearest tenth)
Not:
The direction of the plane is
tan⁻¹ 23/200 = 6.56° west of north.
