Answer

a. See image, below. b. The midpoint of $AC$ is $(\displaystyle \frac{5}{2},3)$ The midpoint of $BD$ is also $(\displaystyle \frac{5}{2},3)$.\\\\ c. Since they have a common midpoint, the diagonals bisect each other.

Work Step by Step

b. The midpoint of $AC$ is $(\displaystyle \frac{-2+7}{2}, \displaystyle \frac{-1+7}{2})=(\frac{5}{2},3)$, The midpoint of $BD$ is $(\displaystyle \frac{4+1}{2}, \displaystyle \frac{2+4}{2})=(\frac{5}{2},3)$. c. Since they have the same midpoint, we conclude that the diagonals bisect each other.
