A circle has a diameter with endpoints of (-3, 8) and (7, 4). What is the center of the circle?

The center will be in the direct midpoint of the two points.

So, the formula for midpoint is (X1+X2)/2, (Y1+Y2)/2

Our X points are -3 and 7. So, we do -3+7/2, which is 2

Our Y points are 8 and 4. So, we do 8+4/2, which is 6

Put it into the form of a point, and we get (2,6) as the center of the circle.

(2, 6) because it is halfway between both endpoints
