Michelle jumps from a plane at an altitude of 1000 m. After 10 seconds her parachute opens. The graph shows the relationship between her altitude and time. How long does it take for her to be half way between the plane and the ground?

Answer: 1 minute

Step-by-step explanation: Michelle jumped from the plane at the altitude of 1000 m. To find the half way point, from the plane she jumped from and the ground; all you have to do is cut the altitude in half:

1000/2 = 500m which Is labeled at 1 minute

Meaning that it took 1 minute for her to be halfway from the ground

I have done this problem and taken the test, it is 100% correct

Good luck hope it helps! :D
