If A is at \((-2, -8)\) and B is at \((1, 1)\), what are the coordinates of point C?
Answer (2)
I don't have an answer for you, but I do have an important hint ... one that will stand you in good stead as you go further in your mathematical studies:
The reason there's a drawing right next to this question in the book or on the homework sheet is that the question can't be answered without the drawing.
The coordinates of point C can vary depending on the conditions specified. If we are finding the midpoint of points A(-2, -8) and B(1, 1), the coordinates of C would be (-0.5, -3.5). Always refer to diagrams or additional instructions for the correct interpretation.
