Mrs. Sue,
I have a math question if you can please help me on this. I am confused. I am doing coordinates. If I have a theater at 5 and a Restaurant at -4 (5,-4) how do I find out the halfway point in between?
I just need to find the halfway point in between those two coordinates.
Mrs. Sue, I made a mistake. The coordinate for the Theater is (-3, 5) and the Restaurant is (-3-4) and I have to find the halfway point in between. How do I do this?
Ms. Sue I figured out the answer.
Hope you got (-3, 1/2)
Yes. I got onto another website and was able to figure out how the formula works and that is the precise answer that I got and I plotted it on the grid.
To find the halfway point between two coordinates, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are given by:
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)
In your case, you have the theater at coordinates (5, -4) and the restaurant at coordinates (-4, 5). Let's substitute these values into the formula:
Midpoint = ((5 + (-4)) / 2, (-4 + 5) / 2)
= (1 / 2, 1 / 2)
= (0.5, 0.5)
So, the halfway point between the theater and the restaurant is located at coordinates (0.5, 0.5).
