Answer:

Solution given:

letA=(10,-4)

B=(-2,-4)

centre[C](h,k)=[tex]\frac{10-2}{2},\frac{-4-4}{2}=(+4,-4)[/tex]

radius=[tex]\sqrt{(4-10)²+(-4+4)²}=6[/tex]units

we have

Equation of a circle is;

(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

(x-4)²+(y+4)²=36

or.

x²-8x+16+y²+8y+16=36

x²-8x+8y+y²=36-32

x²-8x+8y+y²=4

The equation is (x-4)²+(y+4)²=36 or x²-8x+8y+y²=4.

Answer:

[tex] \rm\displaystyle (x - 4) ^{2} + {(y + 4)}^{2} = 36[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

the given points are the diameter points of circle because notice that in the both points y coordinate is the same therefore it's a horizontal diameter

since (10,-4),(-2,-4) are the diameter points of the circle the midpoint of the diameter will be the centre of the circle

remember midpoint formula,

[tex] \displaystyle M = \left( \frac{x _{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{ y_{2} + y_{2}}{2} \right)[/tex]

let,

  • [tex] \displaystyle x _{1} = 10[/tex]
  • [tex] \displaystyle x _{2} = - 2[/tex]
  • [tex] \displaystyle y _{1} = - 4[/tex]
  • [tex] \displaystyle y _{2} = -4[/tex]

thus substitute:

[tex] \rm\displaystyle M = \left( \frac{10 + ( - 2)}{2} , \frac{ - 4 + ( - 4)}{2} \right)[/tex]

simplify addition:

[tex] \rm\displaystyle M = \left( \frac{8}{2} , \frac{ - 8}{2} \right)[/tex]

simplify division:

[tex] \rm\displaystyle M = \left( 4, - 4 \right)[/tex]

so the centre of the circle is (4,-4)

since it's a horizontal diameter the the redious will be the difference between the x coordinate of the Midpoint and the any x coordinate of the given two points but I'll use (-2,-4) therefore the redious is

[tex] \displaystyle r = 4 - ( - 2)[/tex]

simplify which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle\boxed{ r =6}[/tex]

recall the equation of circle

[tex] \displaystyle (x - h) ^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = {r}^{2} [/tex]

we acquire that,

  • h=4
  • k=-4
  • r=6

therefore substitute:

[tex] \rm\displaystyle (x - 4) ^{2} + {(y - ( - 4))}^{2} = {6}^{2} [/tex]

simplify:

[tex] \rm\displaystyle (x - 4) ^{2} + {(y + 4)}^{2} = 36[/tex]

and we are done!
