This involves solving several systems of equations, either by substitution or elimination:First, find the vertices of the triangle by solving the three systems of equations by either substitution or elimination. The solutions are (0,0), (7,7) and (10,-5) Those are points on the circle so they will satisfy the equation: Substituting the three vertices gives this system: which simplifies to: And since F=0 we only have two equations: Dividing the first equation thru by 7 and the 2nd one by 5, or solving that systen gives D=-13, E=-1 So the general equation bcomes Edwin
