Let's say that the coordinates of the squirrel are: (x, y)
Since the coordinates of the acorn is halfway, between the tree and the squirrel, that means the acorn is the midpoint.
To work out the midpoint you do:
(sum of x-coordinates) divided by 2, (sum of y coordinates) divided by 2.
We can use this to form an equation .
So the sum of the x coordinates of the tree and the squirrel = -1 :
x-coordinates of the squirrel:
<em>(now solve for x)</em>
y-coordinates:
<em>(now solve for y)</em>
So the coordinates of the squirrel are: (1, 2)
