Math Problem Statement
Points A and B are marked on a coordinate grid. Determine the coordinates of point C based on the given conditions.
Solution
Let's analyze the information given to determine the coordinates of point .
Given Information:
- The -coordinate of is the same as the -coordinate of .
- The -coordinate of is greater than the -coordinate of and less than the -coordinate of .
- The coordinates of contain one even and one odd value.
Step-by-Step Solution:
- Coordinates of :
- Coordinates of :
From the first condition, we know:
- The -coordinate of is the same as the -coordinate of , which is .
From the second condition, we know:
- The -coordinate of must be greater than (the -coordinate of ) and less than (the -coordinate of ).
From the third condition, we know:
- The coordinates of must contain one even and one odd value.
Since (an odd number), must be even and must satisfy .
Possible Values for :
The possible even values for between and are and .
Conclusion:
The coordinates of that satisfy all conditions are:
Since is the location of point , it cannot be . Therefore, the only valid coordinate for is:

Tip:
Always check if each condition in a multi-step problem restricts the possible solutions. This approach narrows down options effectively.
