A marine biologist needs to put a GPS device underwater, halfway between two tracking stations to help document great white shark movements. Tracking station #1 is located at (–50, –25) and tracking station #2 is at (200, –65). Where does the GPS device need to be located?

The location of the GPS device will be ( 75,-45).

What is coordinate geometry?

A coordinate plane is a 2D plane that is formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines known as the x-axis and y-axis.

The given coordinates of the stations are ( -50,-25) and (200,-65).

The midpoints for the two coordinates will be calculated by the formula given below:-

[tex]\rm Mid points= (\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

[tex]\rm Midpoint= \dfrac{-50+200}{2},\dfrac{-25-65}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Midpoint =\dfrac{150}{2},\dfrac{-90}{2}[/tex]

Midpoints = 75, -45

Therefore the location of the GPS device will be ( 75,-45).
