Choose either D or E as the center. Use distance formula to find the size of the radius, r.





If D is the center, then equation for the circle is .

If E is the center, then the equation of the circle is .

one radius of a circle has endpoints D(2,4)and E(-1,2).
a) find a possible endpoint for the diameter thaat contains this radius

END-POINT # 1
Using D(2, 4) as the center of the circle, or the midpoint of the diameter, and E(- 1, 2) as the
end-point of the radius, or one end-point of the diameter, other end-point of diameter is: (,)
END-POINT # 2
Using E(- 1, 2) as the center of the circle, or the midpoint of the diameter, and D(2, 4)as the
end-point of the radius, or one end-point of the diameter, other end-point of diameter is: (,)
You can do the check!!
