The rest station is the midpoint of the given coordinates:
(-20+35)/2 , for the x value and (15+-12)/2 for the y value.

Coordinates of the rest station: (7.5, 1.5)

How far is the destination? Use the distance formula : D² = √(x1-x2) + (y1-y2)
(-55)² + (27)² = D² D = √3754 = 61.27

Find the slope between the two given points in questions 3-4.

Sophie [7]

I think you have to figure out the gradient, so you take the 2 points and put it into the equation
change in y divided by change in x aka
y2-y1/x2-x1

so for question 3:
y2=4 and y1=3
(taken from the first and second coordinates)
x2=3 and y1=7
put these values jnto the equation
4-3/3-7 = 1/-4 (can be written as negative 1/4)

for question 4 its the same thing:
y2=9 and y1=5
x2=4 and x1=2
put into equation
9-5/4-2 = 4/2

hope this helps, im also hoping your teacher already has taught this because i didnt go into detail of where the equation came from, if not ask me and ill gladly help X
