You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The segment joining (-7,-5) and (-1,-5) is a chord of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "The segment joining (-1,-5) and (6,-6) is a chord of the circle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The perpendicular bisector lines to those chords will themselves intersect at the center of the circle, some point (h,k).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Once the center is found, the distance between any of the given points and the center (h,k) will give the value for the radius, r. Use Distance Formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Fill in the standard form formula for the equation of the circle, $\"%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2=r%5E2\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That is the strategy, and you can do the processes to find the values and the equation. \n" ); document.write( "
