Question

Given points A(-7.3,3), B(-7,10), and C, determine the position of point C.

a) (-7.15, 6.5)
b) (-7.2, 6.8)
c) (-7.5, 7.3)
d) (-7.8, 7.1)

Answer 1

To determine the position of point C, we can use the midpoint formula. The position of point C is (-7.15, 6.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the position of point C, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint of two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:

(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

Using the given points A(-7.3,3) and B(-7,10), we can calculate the midpoint:

(-7.3 + -7)/2, (3 + 10)/2 = (-14.3/2, 13/2)

Simplifying, we get (-7.15, 6.5)

Therefore, the position of point C is option (a) (-7.15, 6.5).
