Question

1. At Chesterfield Town Center, Alex is at the Barnes and Noble at coordinates (-10,9) and Jeff is at the Macy's which is at (4,-6). They decide to meet for lunch in the food court which is halfway between their locations. What are the coordinates of the food court?​

Answer 1

(-1,-1)

Explanation:

The easiest way I know how to explain it is you put the numbers on a line for instance

-6, -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4

and the number in the very middle of the y then for x

-10,-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

and then again you use the midpoint for the x

because they are trying to meet each other half way you are trying to find the midpoint.
