Question 22 • Precalculus

A circle has a diameter with endpoints at –2 + i and –6 –11i. What is the center of the circle?

Answer
A
–8 –10i
B
–4 – 5i
C
–2 – 6i
D
2 + i

Explanation

The center is the midpoint of the diameter’s endpoints. Average the real parts, (−2 + −6)/2 = −4, and the imaginary parts, (1 + −11)/2 = −5, so the center is −4 − 5i, choice B.
