12. Mitch just built 4 franchise locations for his newest pizzerias and wants to decide where to put his headquarters. He makes 3 weekly visits to his Northside store (X=3, Y = 10), 5 visits to his Eastside store (X=4, Y=6), 2 visits to his Southside store (X=3, Y = 5) and 3 visits to his Westside store (X= 1, Y = 5). Compute the center of gravity to help him with his location decision, using the number of weekly visits as the weights. 12a) What are the coordinates of the central location? 12b) If he plans to put his headquarters in one of the 4 store locations, which store should he choose (i.e. which one is closest to the center of gravity)?
