Question

Cedrick is going to meet his mother for dinner at a restaurant halfway between his house and hers. On a coordinate grip map, Cedrick’s house is at (–51, –26) and his mom lives at (2, –4).
Where is the best restaurant for them to meet?

Greek restaurant at (–25, –15)
French restaurant at (–27, –11)
Mediterranean restaurant at (–28, –12)
Thai restaurant at (–38, –1)

Answer 1

Using the mid-point concept, the best restaurant for them to meet is given by:

Greek restaurant at (–25, –15).

What is the midpoint concept?

The midpoint between two points is the halfway point between them, and is found using the mean of the coordinates.

For the midpoint between his house and his mom's, the coordinates are given as follows:

• x = (-51 + 2)/2 = -49/2 = -24.5.

• y = (-26 - 4)/2 = -30/2 = -15.

Hence the Greek restaurant is the best option, as it is closest.
