Determine the center and radius of the circle passing through the points
A(-3,2) B(4,-1) and C(5,-2).
----------------
One way to do this:
--
Find the perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC
Find the intersection of the bisectors, that's the center.
---
The distance from the center to any point A, B or C is the radius.
