It's C because the equations are similar
Answer:
Lines RQ and SP are perpendicular to SR
Step-by-step explanation:
SR are parallel to PQ so that means that RQ and SP are perpendicular to SR
The midpoint, where the rest area is, will just be the average of the coordinates of Springfield and Columbus.
Rest Area=((1+7)/2, (-4+1)/2)
Rest Area=(4, -1.5)
The distance between the two cities can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem, which used in the manner is often referred to as the "distance" formula between two points.
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)
d^2=(7-1)^2+(1--4)^2
d^2=36+25
d^2=61
d=√61 and we are told that each unit is equal to 5.38mi so the distance from Springfield to Columbus is:
D=5.38√61 mi
D≈42.02mi (to nearest hundredth of a mile)
