A circle has a diameter with endpoints (1,8) and (-5,0). find the equation of the circle.
-----------
Find the distance between the 2 points, that's the diameter.
The radius is 1/2 that.
-----
The midpoint is the center of the circle.
----
%28x-+h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2 is a circle of radius and center at (h,k)
