You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
A circle and straight line intersect in the points (−2, 6) and (6, −2). Determine
the equation of the circle and the line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is only one straight line, passing through two given points on the plane,
so it is POSSIBLE to determine its equation.
In opposite, there are INFINITELY MANY circles on the plane passing through the two given points.
Therefore, your problem, as it is worded, printed, posted and presented,
M A K E S no S E N S E.
Unfortunately (or fortunately . . . )
I don't know what is the source of this problem, who composed it and for what reason . . .
But the fact and the diagnosis is as it is stated above.
Do not forget to submit your "THANKS" to me for pointing the defects in your post/problem.
