Answer: The train station is located at point (5,1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: On a grid, information center is located at (1,4) and the bus is located at (-3,7).
A tourist information center is between bus station and train station.
i.e. tourist information center is a mid point of line joining bus station and train station.
Midpoint between (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-
[tex](x,y)=(\dfrac{a+c}{2},\dfrac{b+d}{2})[/tex]
Let (a,b) be the coordinates of train station , then
[tex](1,4)=(\dfrac{-3+a}{2},\dfrac{7+b}{2})\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1=\dfrac{-3+a}{2}\ \ \ , 4=\dfrac{7+b}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2=-3+a\ \ \ , 8=7+b\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2+3=a\ \ \ , 8-7=b\\\\\Rightarrow a= 5,\ \ b=1[/tex]
Hence, the train station is located at point (5,1).
