To determine where Paul drops the groceries halfway between the grocery store and his home, we need to know the coordinates of both locations on the graph. However, since the coordinates of either location are not provided in your question, I cannot compute the halfway point.

Assuming the grocery store's location is at (0, 32) and his home is at (0, -32), the halfway point would be the average of these two points.

  • Grocery store: (0, 32)
  • Home: (0, -32)

To find the midpoint, you can average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates:

  • Midpoint x-coordinate: (0 + 0) / 2 = 0
  • Midpoint y-coordinate: (32 + (-32)) / 2 = 0

Thus, the midpoint is (0, 0).

Given only the options extracted from your question and assuming no additional context, the closest answer still remains an assumption based on typical placements:

  • If (0, 32) represents the store and (0, -32) represents home, the halfway point would be (0, 0).

None of the options listed directly correspond to (0, 0). If you provide more context or clarify the coordinates, I could assist further.
