well, we'll be using the distance formula twice here.

that point, is on the x-axis, what's the value of "y" at the x-axis?  well y = 0, since it's way down at the 0 level, so the point must be (x , 0).

the distance then from (x,0) to (-3,-1) is the same distance as from (x,0) to 1,6).

\bf \begin{array}{rcllll} \stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (-3,-1)}}{\sqrt{(-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2}}&=&\stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (1,6)}}{\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2}} \\\\\\ (-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2&=&(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2 \\\\\\ 9+6x+x^2+1&=&1-2x+x^2+36 \\\\\\ x^2+6x+10&=&x^2-2x+37 \end{array} \\\\\\ 6x+10=-2x+37\implies 8x+10=37\implies 8x=27 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{27}{8}\implies x = 3\frac{3}{8}~\hfill \blacktriangleright \left( 3\frac{3}{8}~,~0 \right) \blacktriangleleft

Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each longitude has a time difference of 4 minutes.

Convert 4 hours into minutes

4 hours * (60 minutes/1 hour) = 240 minutes

Divide 240 minutes by 4 to obtain the difference in longitude

240/4 = 60
