together. Approximately how far will Mike and Lilly ride to the library once

they meet each other at the halfway point?

The approximate distance Mike and Lilly will have to travel between halfway point and Library is 7.8 miles.

From the graph :

  • Mike's coordinate = (-4, 2)
  • Lilly's coordinate = (2, - 2)
  • Library coordinate = (4, 6)

Meeting point = Halfway point :

(x1 + x2) /2 ; (y1 + y2) / 2

X - coordinate = (-4 + 2) / 2 = - 2/ 2 = - 1

Y - coordinate = (2 + (-2)) /2 = 0/2 = 0

Hence, meeting point = (-1, 0)

The distance between meeting point and library :

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Distance = √[(4 - (-1))² + (6 - 0)²]

Distance = √(25 + 36)

Distance = √61 = 7.8 miles

Therefore, the distance between halfway point and library ls approximately 7.8 miles
