Question 10 • Q5 Geometry New 2022

Circle P has a diameter with endpoints at (–4, 3) and (1, 6). Find the center of the circle.

Answer
A
(–1.5, 4.5)
B
(1, 2)
C
(0, 0)
D
(–2.5, –1.5)

Explanation

The center of a circle is the midpoint of its diameter. Average the endpoints’ x-coordinates and y-coordinates: ((–4 + 1)/2, (3 + 6)/2) = (–1.5, 4.5). So the center is (–1.5, 4.5), choice A.
