A. (4, 2)
B. (1, 0)
C. (-4, 0)
D. (0, 1)

Answer 1

B. (1, 0)

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

B. (1, 0)

Explanation:

You can count grid squares on the graph to find the point that is 4 of the 8 units horizontally between the points, and 2 of the 4 units vertically between the points. That will be ...

C +(4, 2) = D -(4, 2) = (1, 0)

__

Or, you can use the midpoint formula:

M = (C +D)/2

M = ((-3, -2) +(5, 2))/2 = (-3+5, -2+2)/2 = (2, 0)/2

M = (1, 0)

The midpoint is (1, 0).
