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: (1, -2)

Explanation

2y = 4x - 8 ⟹ y = 2x - 4. When x = 0, y = -4. When y = 0, x = 2. The midpoint between (0, -4) and (2, 0) = ((0+2)/2,(−4+0)/2) = (1,−2)

2y = 4x - 8 ⟹ y = 2x - 4. When x = 0, y = -4. When y = 0, x = 2. The midpoint between (0, -4) and (2, 0) = ((0+2)/2,(−4+0)/2) = (1,−2)
