ok, diameterfind the distance and the midpointremember, the equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²so find radius and midpointfind diameterfind distance between the pointsD=D=D=D=D=D=D=10radius is 5 then

ok, diameter
find the distance and the midpoint

remember, the equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²

so find radius and midpoint

find diameter
find distance between the points
D=
√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)
D=
√((5-(-3))^2+(7-1)^2)
D=
√((5+3)^2+(6)^2)
D=
√((8)^2+36)
D=
√(64+36)
D=
√(100)
D=10

radius is 5 then

midpoint is the average of the points

(-3+5)/2 is the x value which is 1
(1+7)/2 is theh y vale which is 4

center is (1,4)
radius is 5

(x-1)²+(y-4)²=5² is da equation
