Question

Two end points of a line segment are (2, 8) and (-4, -8). What are the coordinates of the point on the line through which its bisector passes?

(-2, 0)
(-1, 0)
(3, 8)
(5, -6)

Answer 1

Answer 2

Find the midpoint


x-coordinate: (x1+x2)/2 = (2+(-4))/2 = -1

y-coordinate: (y1+y2)/2 = (8+(-8))/2 = 0

So the midpoint is (-1,0)

Therefore, the bisector passes through (-1,0)

So the answer is choice B
