Find the coordinates of the mid-point of x and y intercepts of the line 2y = 4x – 8
-
A.
(2, 0) -
B.
(1, -2) -
C.
(-1, -2) -
D.
(1, 2)
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
2y = 4x – 8 (implies) y = 2x – 4.
When x = 0, y = -4.
When y = 0, x = 2.
The midpoint between (0, -4) and (2, 0) = ((frac{0 + 2}{2}, frac{-4 + 0}{2}))
= ((1, -2))
