What is the center of the circle that has a diameter whose endpoints are (2, 7) and (-6, -1)?

Question

anonymous · Answer

(4, 3)

(-2, 4)

(-2, 3)

anonymous · Answer

Use the midpoint formula to find the center of the two points (since the center is in the middle of the diameter). Therefore, your answer is (-2, 3).

The midpoint formula is ( x+x/2 , y+y/2).

it would be -2, 4...after it is graphed fine the distance between the two points and divide it by 2 then find the difference in height in and divide it by two and that is your center point

anonymous · Answer

That's incorrect, Catlover5925. The answer is (-2, 3) by using the midpoint formula. 

$$(\frac{ 2 + -6 }{ 2 } , \frac{ 7 + -1 }{ 2 }) = (-2, 3)$$
