Explanation:
Problem A
The equation of a circle is
where
is the center and
is the radius, thus, we need to find
using our center and given point, through which we can find our equation:
![(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\(0-3)^2+(-2-6)^2=r^2\\\\(3)^2+(-8)^2=r^2\\\\9+64=r^2\\\\73=r^2](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ndcp8oh9tpyew16zq0lwrk69ajnra5rwfs.png)
This means that the correct equation is
![(x-3)^2+(y-6)^2=73](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/gv4bcdy194pnoto6lwjnziivlsmgoupbjd.png)
Problem B
![(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\(x-(-4))^2+(y-(-2))^2=9^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2=81](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/oif4ziwg6vu82rdu0kw6pnyz6dsci51d5x.png)
Thus, the correct equation is
![(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2=81](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/5l53msx7061ypi4xkbx7ezc3l4oagp3qvg.png)
Problem C
Use the distance formula where
and
to find the diameter of the circle with the given endpoints:
![d=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)\\\\d=√((7-5)^2+(-10-2)^2)\\\\d=√((2)^2+(-12)^2)\\\\d=√(4+144)\\\\d=√(148)\\\\d=2√(37)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ky066dxum4p3qwq35jw5bqxyd3ybym3b4h.png)
Since the radius is half the diameter, then
, making
.
The midpoint of the two endpoints will give us the center, so the center is
![\displaystyle \biggr((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\biggr)=\biggr((2+(-10))/(2),(5+7)/(2)\biggr)=\biggr((-8)/(2),(12)/(2)\biggr)=(-4,6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/mackeyeop8m0kvwddrpe70cyrhslw5tvf5.png)
Thus, the correct equation is
![(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\rightarrow(x-(-4))^2+(y-6)^2=37\rightarrow(x+4)^2+(y-6)^2=37](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/p58pjnw08s3vdsdm7xi50d8lsrnitw33z8.png)
