a)To determine the equation of the circle we need the center and radius. Since its center is given (2, 3), we calculate the radius:
. Now we write the equation of the
circle centered at (2, 3) and passes through (-3, -9):
.
b)Since we know the endpoints of diameter the center will be:
and the point (2, 9)
To find the radius we find the half of diameter:
and the equation will be:
