What is the center of the circle that has a diameter whose endpoints are (2,7) and (-6,-1) ?
Added by Samantha P.
Step 1
To find the midpoint of the diameter, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are given by the following formulas: Midpoint x-coordinate = (x1 + x2) / Show more…
