Question

The points L(10,9)L(10,9), M(10,-5)M(10,-5), N(-1,-5)N(-1,-5), and O(-1,9)O(-1,9) form rectangle LMNOLMNO. Which point is halfway between OO and NN.

Answer 1

You are trying to find the halfway point between OO and NN.
OO: (-1,9)    NN: (-1,5)
The x-coordinate does not change, because in both instances it is -1. The y-coordinate is (9-5)/2 AWAY from each point. AKA the number that is equidistant from 5 and 9 (7).
