Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

Part A : Center

  • Midpoint of diameter points
  • M = (13 + 5 / 2, 10 + 16 / 2)
  • M = (9, 13)

Part B : Radius

  • Half of the distance between the points
  • 16 - 10 / 2
  • 6/2
  • radius = 3

Part C : Equation

  • (x - 9)² + (y - 13)² = 3²
  • x² - 18x + 81 + y² - 26y + 169 = 9
  • x² - 18x + y² - 26y + 241 = 0
