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: C. 4i - j

Explanation

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

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

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

= \((4, -1) = 4i - j\)
