Algebra.Com's Answer #314781 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) Find the distance from one point to the other. That will be the length of the diameter.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Take half of that for the radius. \n" ); document.write( "b) Find the midpoint of the diameter. That will be the center of the circle \n" ); document.write( "c)(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius \n" ); document.write( "See \n" ); document.write( "http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Quadratic-relations-and-conic-sections/Quadratic-relations-and-conic-sections.faq.question.374780.html \n" ); document.write( "to follow his example. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
