Graph the equation with a diameter that has endpoints at (-3, 4) and (5, -2). Label the center and at least four points on the circle. Write the equation of the circle. @dan815 could you please help
i just need the equation
hey @highjumpcollect I'm sorry I can't help. I can graph this it's very easy but I wouldn't know the equation...
ok well i just need the equation
all right then sorry I wish I could help I'm sure someone else will come soon :)

@Directrix
When you put the center of the circle on the graph, what did you give as its coordinates?
The answer for the circle equation will be in the format of the standard form shown in the attachment.
If you don't participate, I cannot help you.
yes sorry i was working on it.. i can't figure the radius out.. @Directrix
I just need to find the radius @Directrix
Let's try this. Get the midpoint of the segment with these endpoints (-3, 4) and (5, -2)
Get the average of the x terms and the average of the two y-coordinates. Post what you get.
(1,1)
@Directrix
please help me @Directrix
Okay with the center. We need one more thing, the radius. You can get it by finding the distance between (1,1) and (-3, 4). Then, we will fit that into the equation and be finished.
how is that done?
I got 5 is that correct?
Use the distance formula
Yes, 5 is correct.
YAY thank you SO much!!!!
Now, use this to get the equation.
So, what is the equation?
Yes, thank u
No, we have to get the equation.
(x - 1)^2 + what = what
yes i already got it (x-1)^2+y-1)^2= 25
(x-1)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 5^2
