Answer 1

Hello!

To find the center of the circle given two points you first find how many spaces are between the points vertically and horizontally

There are 8 spaces horizontally
There are 6 spaces vertically

The center of the circle is going to be 4 spaces up and 3 spaces over from the lowest point

Add 4 to the x value and 3 to the y value of the lowest point

-3 + 4 = 1
-2 + 3 = 1

The center is at point (1, 1)

The answer is (1, 1)

Hope this helps!
