1. Find the equation of the circle circumscribe the triangle determined by the line y=0, 2x+3y-15=0 and x-y=0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The vertices of the triangle are (0,0), (7.5,0) and (3, 3).
The center of the circumscribed circle lies in the straight line x =  = 3.75.
The center is the intersection of the lines y-1.5 = -(x - 1.5) and x = 3.75.
(These lines are orthogonal bisectors of the two sides).
Hence, the center is (3.75,-0.75).


Now you find the radius.

Figure.
