Question

The exit is exactly half way between the Ferris wheel and where you parked your car. Give the coordinates of your parking spot.

Answer 1

GIven data :

The coordinates of ferris wheel is, (2,7).

The coordinates of exit is (4,0).

they have given exactly half way so let us use the midpoint formula,

the mid point formula is,

`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1,y_2)/(2))\ldots(1)`

take the coordinates as

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(2,7) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(4,0) \end{gathered}`

let us subsitute in eqiuation (1),

`\begin{gathered} (\frac{2+4_{}}{2},\frac{7_{}+0_{}}{2}) \\ ((6)/(2),(7)/(2)) \\ (3,3.5) \end{gathered}`

thus the coordinates of parking spot is (3,3.5).
