Question

Sally was walking to Ocean Front Housing Complex. In miles, how far is her distance? and Sally plans to stop half way and pick up something to eat at the deli. What coordinate is the deli?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance is 10 miles

The coordinates of the halfway is (1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by locating the coordinates of the end points

That will be;

(-3,2) and (5,-4)

To calculate how far is her distance, we use the formula for the distance D between the two points.

Mathematically, that will be ;

D = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

D = √((5+3)^2 + (-4-2)^2

D = √100

D = 10 miles

The coordinates of the mid point can be found using the midpoint formula

That will be;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

(x,y) = (-3 + 5)/2 , (-2+4)/2

(x,y) = 2/2, 2/2

(x,y) = (1,1)
