Question

Skye, Jason, and Angelica decided to go to a restaurant. Skye decided to sit at location (7,3) and Angelica decided to sit in the middle at location (5,4). What coordinate would represent Jason’s seat? *

Answer 1

Answer:

(3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the image I attached for the below explanation to make sense.

Skye, the red dot, sat down first at (7, 3). That is our first point. Then, Angelica, the blue dot, sat down exactly between Skye, who is located at (5, 4), and Jason, whose coordinate pair is unknown. You will have to reflect the dots over the blue dot. I just counted the numbers using rise-over-run from the blue dot to the red dot. The change in X was +2, and the change in Y was -1. If we're reflecting, we have to reverse these actions. Start back at the blue dot and subtract 2 from the x-axis, then add 1 to the y-axis. You will get to Jason's seat, located at (3, 5).
