Answer:

Radius = 5

center is (19,-1)


(x-19)^2(y+1)^2= 25

Explanation:

Two points in the plane, (19,4) and (19,−6), represent the endpoints of the diameter of a circle.

Distance between the points is calculated using formula


d=√(\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2)


=√(\left(19-19\right)^2+\left(-6-4\right)^2)=10

diameter = 10

radius = diameter divide by 2

Radius = 5

midpoint is the center of the circle


\left((x_2+x_1)/(2),\:\:(y_2+y_1)/(2)\right)


\left((19+19)/(2),\:(-6+4)/(2)\right)

(19,-1)

Equation of the circle


(x-h)^2(y-k)^2= r^2

h,k is the center and r is the radius

h=19 and k=-1 , r=5


(x-19)^2(y+1)^2= 25
