OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

you will get your answer

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

Is 11,-14 in options?

there are no options it's just asking me to find the coordinates for W

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

So, thats the answer and process. I hope you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do with those equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i understand thank you!

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

you will get W. See the idea is ... Do you know Distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

x coordinates of two positions give mid point, right? same applied with y coordinate. So, I used the equation in that way.... just check once
