Question

Two birds are flying toward a birdhouse that is halfway between them. The birds are at coordinates A (-9, 1) and B (5,-5). What are the coordinates of the birdhouse?

Answer 1

the birdhouse is halfway between A and B
so you have to find the midpoint of AB
let's suppose the midpoint is M

\[x _{M} = \frac{ x _{A}+x _{B} }{ 2 }\]
\[y_M = \frac{ y_A + y_b }{ 2 }\]

Answer 2

Thanks!
