Answer:

Hi, for the equation of a circle you first need to find the center;

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

= (-3 + 7)/2, (2 + 4)/2)

 = (2, 3)

Now that we have the center, we need the radius:

r = √(x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2

Let's use (2,3) for (x1,y1) and (7,4) for (x2,y2)

r = √(7-2)2 + (4-3)2

r = √25 + 1

r = √26  

Now we can find the equation of circle with center (2,3) and radius √26  

(x - 2)2 + (y - 3)2 = 26

• what if the 3 is negative?

Do you have endpoints of a diameter? And are you looking for an easy way to find the equation of a circle? If you are saying YES, then our equation of a circle with diameter endpoints calculator is a perfect fit for you. Go on and insert the diameter endpoints in the indicated fields. You will obtain circle equations in standard, general, and parametric form.

A circle is a 2-D closed geometrical shape whose boundary points are at an equal distance from the center of the geometry.

To find the equation of a circle with diameter endpoints, you can use the following steps:

1. Find the distance between the endpoints (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1)(x1​,y1​) and (x2,y2)(x_2,y_2)(x2​,y2​) by using distance formula:

d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2\qquad \scriptsize d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}d=(x2​−x1​)2+(y2​−y1​)2​

1. Divide $d$ by 2 to get the radius $r$ of the circle.
2. Next, you can use the midpoint formula to find the x coordinates $h$ and y coordinates $k$ for the circle's center. The equation is given as:

h=(x2+x1)2k=(y2+y1)2\qquad\qquad \scriptsize \begin{align*} h=\frac{(x_2+x_1)}{2} \\ k=\frac{(y_2+y_1)}{2} \end{align*}h=2(x2​+x1​)​k=2(y2​+y1​)​​

By knowing the center coordinates: $h$,$k$, and radius $r$ we can get the circle equation in standard form. It is given as:

(x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2\qquad \scriptsize (x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2=r^2(x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2

The equation of a circle is (x-4)² + (y-6)² = 8. You can find this equation by using the following steps:

1. Find the x-coordinate (h) & y-coordinate (k) of the center of the circle by taking the summation of x-coordinates & y-coordinates of the endpoints of the diameter respectively and dividing by 2.
2. Calculate the distance between (6,4) and (2,8) using the distance formula and divide by 2 to get the circle's radius.
3. Substitute the center coordinates and radius into a standard form to get the equation of the circle.

The midpoint is (1.5,0.5). To calculate the midpoint coordinates: sum the corresponding coordinates, and divide by 2.
