Check the picture below.

if we know the endpoints of the circle, then its center must be the midpoint of those two endpoints.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{10-6}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-2+2}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{4}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{0}{2} \right)\implies (2~~,~~0)$

$\bf y=\cfrac{5}{2\sqrt[4]{x^3}}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{2}\cdot x^{-\frac{3}{4}}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{5}{2}\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}x^{-\frac{3}{4}-1} \right)\implies 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{5}{2}\left( -\cfrac{3}{4}x^{-\frac{7}{4}} \right)
\\\\\\
 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8}\cdot x^{-\frac{7}{4}} 
\implies 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{\frac{7}{4}} }
\\\\\\
$

$\bf
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8x^{\frac{7}{4}}}\implies 
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8\sqrt[4]{x^7}}\\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{15}{8x\sqrt[4]{x^3}}
