The points (2,9) and (-10, 1) are the endpoints of a
diameter of a circle. What is the equation of the circle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex](x + 4)^{2} + (y - 5)^{2} = 52[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is [tex](x - h)^{2} + (y - k)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex] where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius

The diameter = [tex]\sqrt{(2 + 10)^{2} + (9 - 1)^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{144 + 64}[/tex]  = [tex]\sqrt{208} = 4\sqrt{13}[/tex]

The radius = [tex]2\sqrt{13}[/tex] and [tex]r^{2} = 52[/tex]

The center of the circle = [tex](\frac{2 - 10}{2} , \frac{9 + 1}{2} )[/tex] = (-4, 5) =  midpoint of diameter

equation is [tex](x + 4)^{2} + (y - 5)^{2} = 52[/tex]
