Answer:

(x−2)2+(y+1)2=100

Step-by-step explanation:

the standard form of the equation of a circle is

2 2 ( x − a ) 2 + ( y − b ) 2 = r 2 2 2 where ( a , b ) are the coordinates of the center and r is the radius to find the center we require the midpoint of the 2 given points center = [ 1 2 ( − 4+ 8 ) , 1 2 ( 7 − 9 ) ] center = ( 2 , − 1 ) the radius is the distance from the center to either of the 2 given points calculate the radius using the distance formula ∙ d = √ ( x2 − x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1 ) 2 let ( x 1 , y 1) = ( 2 , -1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) = ( − 4 , 7 ) r = √ = √ ( − 4 − 2 ) 2 + ( 7 + 1 ) 2 = √ 36 + 64 = 10 ⇒ ( x − 2 ) 2 + ( y − ( − 1 ) ) 2 = 10 2 ⇒ ( x − 2 )2 + ( y + 1 ) 2 = 100 ← equation of circle
