Triangle ABC is a right triangle with vertex A containing the right angle.

You can tell because AB is a horizontal line since A and B have the same y-coordinate, and AC is a vertical line since A and C have the same x-coordinate.

A right triangle in a circumcircle is always in the semicircle, with the centre of the circle lying in the middle of the side opposite the right angle.

So, the circumcenter is the midpoint of BC.

The midpoint of BC is ((5-1)/2, (1-1)/2) = (2, 0)

find the equation of a straight line passing through the point(4,5) and equally inclined to the lines 3x = 4y +7 and 5y= 12x +6

<span>First we have to determine the slope of each lines by transforming to the slope-intercept form:

y=(3x-7/)4; m2= ¾y=(12x+6)/5, m3 = 12/5

The formula to be used in the proceeding steps is a=tan^-1(m1-m2)/1+m1m2=tan^-1(m1-m2)/1+m1m2
substituting, a=tan^-1(m1-3/4)/1+3m1/4=tan^-1(m1-12/5)1+12m1/5) =>(4m1-3)/(4+3m1)=(5m1-12)/(5+12m1)m1 = -1applying this slope

y -y1 = m(x-x1)
when y1 = 5 and x1 = 4 then,
y - 5 = -1(x-4)
y = -x +4+ 5 ; y = -x +9</span>
