Q. Endpoints of Diameter: (−5,−8) and (7,2)Standard Form:
Find Midpoint Formula: To find the center of the circle, we need to find the midpoint of the diameter. The midpoint formula is ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2).
Plug in Endpoints: Using the endpoints (−5,−8) and (7,2), we plug them into the midpoint formula: igg(rac{-5 + 7}{2}, rac{-8 + 2}{2}igg).
Calculate Midpoint: Calculating the midpoint gives us (22,2−6), which simplifies to (1,−3).
Find Center: The center of the circle is at (1,−3).
