Add the x's and divide by 2 and then add the Y's and divide by 2

X: (-8 + -7)/2 = -15/2

Y: (-7+-8) /2 = -15/2

midpoint = (-15/2, -15/2)
Answer is C

█ Explanation █

Let's call the missing altitude 'x'.

✦ To find the plane's altitude, find the tan of 30 degrees. The side opposite is going to be x, while the side adjacent is going to be 4.4 miles.
✦ $Tan(30)= \frac{x}{4.4}$
✦ $5.7735= \frac{x}{4.4}$
✦ $x=4.4*.57735$
✦ $x=4.4*.55735$
✦ $x=2.54 mi$
✦ We usually write altitude in feet.

Answer: 2.54 * 5280 ~ 13,400 ft

What equation can be used to show that the slope of the line is the same between any two points?

Blizzard [7]

If you think about slopes it will always be rise over run! Think of rise as climbing a mountain and run as in walking on the mountain you just climbed. In order to find an equation of any problem, you first need to look at a graph for your first clue. See if the line goes straight through the corners of certain places on the graph. If so than you just count rise over run!
In conclusion my thesis or solution for your question would be C.

The hardest part of this is setting up the equation -- the calculations are pretty easy.

You're told that the time (needed to go from 0 to 100 MPH) is inversely proportional to the horsepower: what this means is that as horsepower gets larger, time gets smaller. This makes sense since the more horsepower you have, the less time it will take you to get to 100 MPH

You can think of this as:

200 HP = 10 seconds
250 HP = x seconds

You set the equation up as:

250 HP / 200 HP = 10 sec / x sec

Now, just cross multiply and solve:

250 / 200 = 10 / x
250x = (200 x 10)
250x = 2000
x = 2000 / 250
x = 8

So, as you increase the horsepower from 200 to 250, the time decreases from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.

Hope this helps!

Good luck.
