Find the equation of a circle passing through the points A(4,1) and B(6,5) and whose center is on the line 4x + y = 16
------------
Find the perpendicular bisector of A and B.
The intersection of the bisector and the line is the center of the circle.
The radius is the distance from the center to A or to B.
