The points (0, -8) and (10, 2) represent the endpoints of a diameter of a circle. Which of the following represents the equation of this circle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(x-5)²+(y+2)²=200.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) using the given coordinates it is possible to calculate

- the centre of the given circle:

[tex]x_0=\frac{10+0}{2}=5; \ y_0=\frac{2-8}{2}=-2;[/tex]

- the radius of the given circle:

[tex]r=\sqrt{(10-0)^2+(2+8)^2} =\sqrt{200} ;[/tex]

2) finally, the required equation (common form is (x-x₀)²+(y-y₀)²=r²):

(x-5)²+(y+2)²=200.
