If the points (-4, 1) and (2, 1) are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle, where is the center?
A)
(-7, 1)

B)
(-1, 1)

C)
(1, -1)

D)
(5, 1)

Respuesta :

Using the midpoint formula, you'd get B: -1,1
: D
To find this we evaluate using the midpoint formula:

m=([tex] \frac{x_{1}+ x_{2} }{2} [/tex], [tex] \frac{ y_{1}+ y_{2} }{2} [/tex])
m=([tex] \frac{-4+2}{2} [/tex], [tex] \frac{1+1}{2} [/tex])
m=(-1,1)
The answer is B) (-1,1)
