Here we want to find the equation of the line containing the median CP.
P, being the midpoint of AB can be found using the midpoint formula as:

.
The slope m of the line through CP can be found by the slope formula using points C(18, -8) and P(0, 1):

.
Now, we can write the equation of the line with slope -1/2, passing through
P(0, 1):

.
Answer:
That shortcut would be a diagonal route. The horiz. leg would be 54 miles; the vertical one would be 31 miles. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get distance d = sqrt( 31^2 + 54^2) = sqrt( 3877 ) = 62.3 miles.

None Bc the first person is correct
To find the slope,we can use the point-slope form:

Where m is the slope.
In this case,the equation would be:
-9-2 = m(1-(-3))
-11 = m(1+3)
-11 = 4m
m = -11/4
Therefore the slope is -11/4.
Hope it helps!
