If (overrightarrow{OA} = 3i + 4j) and (overrightarrow{OB} = 5i – 6j ) where O is the origin and M is the midpoint of AB, find OM.

  • A.
    -2i – 10j
  • B.
    -2i + 2j
  • C.
    4i – j
  • D.
    4i + j
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

(overrightarrow{OA} = (3, 4))

(overrightarrow{OB} = (5, -6))

(overrightarrow{OM} = (frac{3 + 5}{2}, frac{4 + (-6)}{2}))

= ((4, -1) = 4i – j)
