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. Calculate another slope, \"-1%2Fm\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the POINT-SLOPE form of equation of a line in the plane.
\n" ); document.write( "You will use it as \"y-v=%28-1%2Fm%29%28x-u%29\";
\n" ); document.write( "perform arithmetic steps according to the number properties you know in order to put this equation into the general form that you want.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
