Cedrick is going to meet his mother for dinner at a restaurant halfway between his house and hers. On a coordinate grid map, Cedrick’s house is at (−51,−26) and his mom lives at (2,−4). Where is the best restaurant for them to meet?
Answer
A
Thai restaurant at open paren negative 38 comma negative 1 close paren
B
Greek restaurant at open paren negative 25 comma negative 15 close paren
C
French restaurant at open paren negative 27 comma negative 11 close paren
D
Mediterranean restaurant at open paren negative 28 comma negative 12 close paren
Explanation
Find the midpoint by averaging the two coordinates: x = (−51 + 2) ÷ 2 = −24.5 and y = (−26 + (−4)) ÷ 2 = −15. The halfway point is (−24.5, −15), so the Greek restaurant at (−25, −15) is the best match.
