93Circle from diameter endpoints
In the -plane, the points and are the endpoints of a diameter of a circle. The equation of the circle is . What is the value of ?
r² = 25. The center is the midpoint of (−1,3) and (7,9), which is (3,6), and r² is the squared distance from that center to either endpoint: 4² + 3² = 25, confirmed using the other endpoint too.
