Question

Write the coordinates in the form (x, y).

D = (-8.25, -5.75) E
F = (-6.5, -7.5) G
H = (-4.75, -9.25)
A) E = (-7.375, -6.625)
B) E = (-6.875, -7.125)
C) E = (-6.375, -7.625)
D) E = (-5.875, -8.125)

Answer 1

The correct coordinates for point E are (-7.375, -6.625), determined by calculating the midpoint between points D and F as they are on a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates given in the question D = (-8.25, -5.75), EF = (-6.5, -7.5), and GH = (-4.75, -9.25) need to properly define point E among the provided options. Since EF represents a line segment from E to F and D, E, F, and G are on a straight line, we can find the coordinates of E by taking the midpoint between D and F, which gives us (-7.375, -6.625). Therefore, the correct option is A) E = (-7.375, -6.625).
