Question

The map shows the locations of several rides in an amusement park.

The park owners want to put an information booth halfway between the roller coaster and the water slide. If the roller coaster is located on the map at (7, 6) and the water slide is located at (–3, –4), at which coordinates should the information booth be placed?

(1, 1)
(2, 1)
(2, –1)
(4, 2)

Answer 1

(2,1)

Explanation:

midpoint formula:

m = (x1-x2)/2 , (y1-y2)/2

(7-3)/2 = 2

(6-4)/2 = 1
