Question

On the grid below, represents Canal Street. Point A represents the location of Doug’s Market and point B represents the location of Hamel’s BBQ.

If Delicious Donuts is located on Canal Street midway between Doug’s Market and Hamel’s BBQ, which coordinate pair BEST represents the location of Delicious Donuts?

Answer 1

(-2,3)

Explanation:

If Delicious Donuts is midway, then that would be a midpoint of A and B which represent Doug's Market and Hamel's BBQ respectively.

Therefore, that midpoint would be:

`\displaystyle \biggr((-7+3)/(2),(2+4)/(2)\biggr)=\biggr((-4)/(2),(6)/(2)\biggr)=(-2,3)`
