Hey there!
Let's think of sea level as 0.
Therefore, anything below sea level is negative, and anything above it would be positive.
If we're starting at -50 and going up +5000, then it's reasonable to think that -50+5000 is going to be out height.
Therefore, the missile is 4950 feet above sea level.
I hope this helps!
