I don't have graph paper so can someone show me how to do this without graph paper??
On a school map, the points (-7, -2), (-7, 4), (-1, -2), and (-1, 4) represent the four corners of a sand park.

What are the coordinates of the center of the sand park?

(-4, 3)

(-3, 1)

(-3, -3)

(-4, 1)

okay thanks

amistre64 · Answer

find the slope between opposite corners, and create line equations to see where they meet

anonymous · Answer

So I would pair one -7 with -1 points? for finding the slope

amistre64 · Answer

or, if you can tell that coords given form a regular rectangle ... find middle of xs and middle of ys

I will leave this in your capable hands @amistre64

amistre64 · Answer

if we do a rudimentary placement of the points as such

(-7, 4)        (-1, 4)

(-7, -2)     (-1, -2)

we can recognize that this is a regular rectangle

amistre64 · Answer

(-7, 4)                                              (-1, 4)

halfway between
     4 and -2

       (-7, -2)         halfway between      (-1, -2)
                                  -7 and -1

anonymous · Answer

So I just find the rest of the halfway betweens and then I get the middle?

amistre64 · Answer

yep

thank you!

amistre64 · Answer

youre welcome, and i think your options are miswritten.

anonymous · Answer

Nope those are my options

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

I got -4, 1
