Algebra.Com's Answer #403984 by nerdybill(7384) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A map of a town is drawn on a coordinate grid. The high school is found at point (3,1) and the town hall is found at (-5,7). if the high school is at midpoint between the town hall and the town library, at which ordered pair should you find the library? \n" ); document.write( "midpoint formula given two points (x1,y1) AND (x2,y2) \n" ); document.write( "((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2)) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "(3,1) = ((x-5)/2 , (y+7)/2) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "solving for x: \n" ); document.write( "3 = (x-5)/2 \n" ); document.write( "6 = (x-5) \n" ); document.write( "11 = x \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "1 = (y+7)/2 \n" ); document.write( "2 = (y+7) \n" ); document.write( "-5 = y \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "answer:(11,-5) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
