Question 8 • Q5 Geometry New 2022
Treat east and north as positive, and west and south as negative. The endpoints are (15, 22) and (−25, −36), so their midpoint is ((15 + (−25))/2, (22 + (−36))/2) = (−5, −7): 5 blocks west and 7 blocks south. The student averaged the distances without accounting for direction, so the sums of the horizontal and vertical directions were not computed correctly.
