The center is at the midpoint of the diameter. This is like the average of the x coordinates, and the average of the y coordinates. So, add the x coordinates and divide by 2, add the y coordinates and divide by 2.



Coordinates of the center : (-6,5)

The center of the circle is the mid-point of the two points
Therefore (-4+(-8)/2,(10+0)/2)
(-4-8/2,5)
(-12/2,5)
(-6,5)
