Question

The endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (-7, 3) and (5, 1). What is the center of the circle?

Answer 1

(-1,2)

Explanation:

midpoint formula is ( (x1 + x2)/2, (y + y2)/2 ) The answer will be an ordered pair.

(-7 + 5)/2, (3 + 1)/2

(-2/2, 4/2)

(-1, 2)

The center of the circle is at (-1,2)

Answer 2

You need to find the MIDPOINT of the two points.
midpoint formula is ( (x1 + x2)/2, (y + y2)/2 ) The answer will be an ordered pair.
(-7 + 5)/2, (3 + 1)/2
(-2/2, 4/2)
(-1, 2)
The center of the circle is at (-1,2)
