Question 1167506
Find an equation for the circle that goes through the these points A(9,2), B(-1,12), and C(-9,-4)
------------------------
Find the perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC
Find the intersection of the 2 bisectors - That's the center of the circle, (h,k).
----
The radius is the distance from the center to any of the 3 points.
==============
{{{(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2}}}
------------
Or:
<pre>  
| x   y  x^2+y^2  1|
| 9   2    85     1|
|-1  12   145     1| = 0
|-9  -4    97     1|
