Question 993809: The points (5,3) and (14,-8) form the endpoints of a diameter of a circle in the xy-plane. Find the x-intercepts of the circle. Please help, a step-by-step explanation would be appreciated as I need to ensure that I understand how to solve for these types of problems. Thank you! Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Standard Form equation for a circle is . The midpoint of the two given points is the center of the circle. This center will be the point (h,k). The distance using the Distance Formula between (h,k) and either of the two given endpoints gives you your radius, r.
