If O is origin and C is the mid - point ...

If O is origin and C is the mid - point of A (2, -1) and B ( -4, 3) . Then value of OC is

A

`hati+hatj`

B

`hati-hatj`

C

`-hati+hatj`

D

`-hati-hatj`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Coordinate of C is `((2-4)/(2),(-1+3)/(2))=(-1,1)`
`thereforeOC=-hati+hatj`.
