Pls help with this quiz Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y= -1 and that
passes through the point (8,-4). Write your answer in slope-
intercept form, y= mx + b.

An airplane travels at an unknown elevation before it descends 3 miles to an elevation of 15 miles. find the elevation of the plane before its descen.

I've been working on this for a few days and i just don't understand, it's due in a few hours. you. the direction of a vector is defined as the angle of the vector in relation to a horizontal line. as a standard, this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. the direction or angle of v in the diagram is α. part a: how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction α of a general vector v = < x, y> similar to the diagram? part b suppose that vector v lies in quadrant ii, quadrant iii, or quadrant iv. how can you use trigonometric ratios to calculate the direction (i.e., angle) of the vector in each of these quadrants with respect to the positive x-axis? the angle between the vector and the positive x-axis will be greater than 90 degrees in each case. part c now try a numerical problem. what is the direction of the vector w = < -1, 6 > ?

(i really need ) read the story problem, and then answer the questions that follow. gordon works for a graphic design firm and is creating a label for a food truck vendor. the vendor specializes in finger food and wants to sell food in right conical containers so that they are easy for people to hold. to complete his label, gordon needs to collect several different measurements to ensure that the label he designs will fit the surface of the container. gordon has been told that the containers have a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches. part a: find the slant height of the cone. the slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s lateral surface. show your work. part b: find the measure of the angle formed between the base of the cone and a line segment that represents the slant height. part c: imagine two line segments where each represents a slant height of the cone. the segments are on opposite sides of the cone and meet at the apex. find the measurement of the angle formed between the line segments.
