Ali's house and Will's house are represented by the points A and W on the coordinate plane below.
Point A is at (-2, 1), and point W is at (4, 5).
The boys want to meet exactly halfway between their houses. What are the coordinates of the point that represents this location?
A. (1,3)
B. (-4,2.5)
C. (3,3)
D. (-3,-2)
To find the point that is exactly halfway between (-2, 1) and (4, 5), we need to calculate the average of the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates.
Average of x-coordinates = (-2 + 4) / 2 = 2/2 = 1
Average of y-coordinates = (1 + 5) / 2 = 6/2 = 3
Therefore, the coordinates of the point that represents the location halfway between Ali's house and Will's house is (1, 3).
So, the answer is A. (1,3)
