Answer 1

To find the point that is in the middle of your house at point A and your friend's house at point D, you first need to clarify the coordinates of points A and D. However, the options you presented do not reveal which specific coordinate set corresponds to points A and D.

Given the options, if we consider that points A and D are among the provided coordinates, we can calculate their midpoints if we denote A and D arbitrarily. For example, if we assume point A is one of the listed options and point D is another, we can find the midpoint (M) using the formula:

\[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \]

If we consider the available points and iterate through combinations after assigning, it can determine which option corresponds to the midpoint.

However, since we lack definitive coordinates for A and D, I recommend that you take note of those before trying to find the midpoint. Without that information, it can't be directly solved to give you a specific point for the meet-up.

Please clarify which points correspond to A and D, or if they are among the options given.
