ECZ 2018 · GCE Paper 1 — Vectors In Two Dimensions

The coordinates of B and C are (2, 5) and (4, −3) respectively. If M is the mid-point of BC, what is the position vector of M?

  • A. [6; 2]
  • B. [1; −4]
  • C. [3; −1]
  • D. [3; 1]

Verified working — step 1

The mid-point averages the coordinates: M = (2 + 42, (5 + (−3))/2) = …
