Question

The coordinates of the midpoint of a HORIZONTAL LINE segment are (1,3). Which of the following are possible pairs of endpoints for the ling segment?
a. (1, 2) and (1, 4)
b. (1, -4) and (1, 0)
c. (-1, 3) and (3, 3)
d. (-2, 3) and (-4, 3)

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

Since it’s a horizontal line and has mid point (1,3) then the y-intercept stays the same. So we eliminate a and b. We are left with c and d. But looking at d, their x-intercept is moving away from the mid point but c, their x-intercept is going in between the mid point so C is the answer
