The equation of a circle in standard form is
+
=
where (a , b) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
The centre is at the midpoint of the endpoints and the radius is the distance from the centre to either of the 2 endpoints
Using the midpoint formula
midpoint = [(x

where (,
=(3,8) and (
,
=(-7,2)
centre = ((3-7),
(8+2)) = (-2,5)
Calculate r using the distance formula
r = √(-
)²+(
-
)²)
= √((3+2)²+(8-5)²) = √(25+9) = √34 ⇒ r² =(√34)² = 34
equation of circle is : (x+2)²+(y-5)² = 34
