In the coordinate plane, the points F(-2,1), G(1,4), and H(4,1) lie on a circle with center P. What are the coordinates of point P?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Procedure:
\n" ); document.write( "Find the equation of the perpendicular-bisector of line segment FG.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the equation of the perpendicular-bisector of line segment GH.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the intersection of those two equations.
\n" ); document.write( "That is the center of the circle.
