Find the standard form of the equation of the circle with endpoints of a diameter at the points
(4,8) and (2,6).


Sagot :

(
x

(
y

=
37
Explanation:
The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter, i.e.
(
7

5
2
,
8
+
6
2
)
=
(
1
,
7
)
Again, the diameter is the distance between the points s
(
7

8
)
and
(

)
:

(

)
2

)

=

2
+

2
=

37
so the radius is

.
Thus the standard form of the circles equation is
(

(

)
2
=
