Answer:

Circumcenter of triangle
(4,-1)

Explanation:

Given coordinates are
(1,1)(1,-3)(7,-3)

We will draw these points on the graph.

Let
A(1,1),
B(1,-3) and
C(7,-3)

We can see it is a right-angle triangle.

Let
O be the midpoint of line
AC

So, the coordinate of the point
O will be


A(1,1)\ C(7,-3)\\\\Midpoint\ O\ will\ be\\\\O=((1+7)/(2),(1+(-3))/(2))\\ \\O=((8)/(2),(-2)/(2))\\\\O=(4,-1)

Also, we know the coordinates of circumcenter of a right angle triangle will be midpoint of its hypotenuse.

So, coordinates of circumcenter is
(4,-1)
