is the questions supposed to say halfway between A and B?

Oops sorry! it's 1/4

so the change in x position between A and B is -2 - 0 = -2

If you want a quarter of that distance, its -2/4 = -1/2 = -.5

Now to find the x position, add that to your starting point (in this case, A's x value is at 0)

0 + -.5 = -.5

C is your answer
