Davis construction is building a new housing development. they begin by mapping the development out on a coordinate grid. they place one of the two swimming pools at coordinate (-16, -25) and the other at (18, 23). if they want the club house to be exactly halfway between the two pools, find the coordinate point for the clubhouse

To solve this problem, we can use the following ratio formulas to find for the coordinates of the club house:

x = [m / (m + n)] (x2 – x1) + x1

y = [m / (m + n)] (y2 – y1) + y1

Where,

m and n are the ratios (0.5 and 0.5 each since the club house are to be located exactly halfway)

x1 and y1 are the x and y coordinates of the 1st pool (-16, -25)

x2 and y2 are the x and y coordinates of the 2nd pool (18, 23)

Substituting:

x = [0.5 / (0.5 + 0.5)] (18 - -16) + -16

x = 1

y = [0.5 / (0.5 + 0.5)] (23 - -25) + -25

y = -1

Therefore the club house should be located at coordinates (1, -1).
