A circle has a center that falls on the line #y = 5/4x +8 # and passes through # ( 4 ,7 )# and #(2 ,5 )#. What is the equation of the circle?
1 Answer
center is
or
#(x-0.444)^2+(y-8.555)^2=15.06
Explanation:
Let
be the center of the circle
and
lie on the perimeter.
are equidistant from (x,y)
Center lies on the line
lhs=rhs
lhs=rhs
and the radius is
center is
#(x-0.444)^2+(y-8.555)^2=15.06
