Math riddle? I need help? Please?!
Question: Math riddle!? I need help!? Please!?
Can you solve this problem and show your work!?
Thank you so much for your time!
All streets are assumed to have no width, and buildings are assumed to be of point size!.
2!. There are three high schools in TG City: Angus high at (-4,3), Bella High at (2,1), and Chadwick Prep at (-1,-6)!. Draw the school district boundaries so that each student in TG City attends the high school that closest to his/her home!.
If Bob's Beefy Burger Joint wants to open a hamburger stand equally distant from each of the three high schools, where should it be located!?
Thank you! I really can't figure this out =/Www@Enter-QA@Com

Difficult!?
Let's call Angus point A, Bella point B, and Chadwick point C!. That's convient!.
The point that is halfway between A and B is ((-4+2)/2,(3+1)/2) or
(-1,2)
The point that is halfway between A and C is ((-4+(-1))/2,(3+(-6))/2) or
(-5/2,-3/2)!.
The point that is halfway between C and B is ((-1+2)/2,(-6+1)/2) or
(1/2,-5/2)
The line from the midpoint of AB to C is straight up and down at -1!.
Now I'm tired of typing so I'm going to get lazy!.!.!.
Find the equation of the line from the midpoint of AC, (-5/2,-3/2) to point B, (2,1)!.
or find the equation of the line from the midpoint of BC (1/2,-5/2) to point A (-4,3)!.
Plug -1 in for X and get Y you will have an equation (-1, something) This is where Bob needs to build his burger joint and the lines extending from this point out through the midpoints forever define the school boundries!.

This looks difficult!. Bob should be located on the intersection of the 3 heights of the triangle!. The triangle is formed by the three school location sites!.
It's difficult to find the values of that pointWww@Enter-QA@Com

It should be located at -1, -2 I think!. I'm not sure!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
i need a map of the places to do that!. i dont have the whatchamacallitWww@Enter-QA@Com
