a diameter of a circle has endpoints p(-10, -2) and q(4,6)

a. find the center of the circle.
b. find the radius. if your answer is not an integer, express it in radical form.
c. write an equation for the circle.

P and Q are endpoints, so the center of the circle would be the midway point.

A. The midpoint is found using:

(x1 + x2 /2 , y1 +y2 /2)

-10 + 4 = -6 /2 = -3

-2 + 6 = 4 /2 = 2

The center of the circle is at (-3,2)

B) The radius would be the distance from the midpoint to an end point.

Using the distance formula:

√((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

√(4 - -3^2 + 6-2^2)

√(7^2 + 4^2)

√(49+16)

√65

C) Using the circle equation form of (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

H,K is the center point found in part A and r is the radius found in part B.

The equation becomes (x-(-3))^2 + (y -2)^2 = √65^2

Which simplifies to: (x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 65

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
