What is the center of the circle that has a diameter whose endpoints are (9, 7) and (-3, -5)? (6, 6) (3, 1) (3, 4)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

add the points and divide in half; that gets you the midpoint, the average between the 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 9+7and -5+-3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmm, not adding up the points themselves; but line them up and add them component to component

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(9, 7) +(-3, -5) --------- (6, 2) then divide those in half

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lining them up helps you to keep them in the right order

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x+x and y+y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep, so do you see that answer yet?
