Algebra.Com's Answer #601567 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The method to solve can be this:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the line for JK. Find the midpoint between J and K. As a model form, call this midpoint (u,v), and it is also the center of the circle.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Identify the slope, m for line JK.
