Answer:
The coordinates of the school should be at (10.5 , 4.25)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are dealing with two points here on a plane. These are:
Town of Coyner, Point A(3,1)
town of Coyner, Point B (18, 7.5)
in coordinate geometry, to get the mid point of two points we simply use the formula:
[tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})[/tex]
where x and y are the first and second points respectively
applying this formula, we have that
the mid point of the two towns is
[tex](\frac{3+18}{2}, \frac{1+7.5}{2})=(10.5 , 4.25)[/tex]
Hence the coordinates of the school should be at (10.5 , 4.25)
