Question

The mayor wants to build a new park directly in the middle of the grocery store and the school. Where should the park be built?


(0,3)
(1, 0.5)
(4,1)
(3,1)

Answer 1

To determine the midpoint between the grocery store and the school, we first need their coordinates. However, you haven't provided those coordinates. If we assume the grocery store and the school have specific coordinates, we can use those to calculate the midpoint.

The midpoint \(M\) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula:
\[
M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
\]

Once you provide the coordinates for the grocery store and the school, we can calculate the exact location for the new park. If you meant for one of the points you've listed to be either the grocery store or the school, please clarify that as well!
