what would the center be?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its doesnt say and i dont know how to find it
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
its in the middle of the two points
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
given points (a,b),(c,d)
\[midpoint = (\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2})\]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
so whats the midpoint?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.1?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
im confused about the question
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
is this the equation of a circle?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
how did you get 1.1?

It should be a circle.
Centre = midpoint of the 2 given endpoints = ((5 - 3) / 2 , (4 - 2) / 2)) = (1 , 1)
Radius = length of 1 endpoint to centre = sqrt ((5 - 1)^2 + (-2 - 1)^2) = 5 units
(x - 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 5^2
x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 - 2y + 1 = 25
x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 2y - 23 = 0
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
you should get it to the standard form of a circle by "completing the square"
\[x^2+y^2-2x-2y-23=0\\(x^2-2x)+(y^2-2y)-23=0\\((x-1)^2-1
)+((y-1)^2-1)-23=0\\(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=5^2\]
