Answer:
(x +1)^2 +(y +0.5)^2 = 22.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter, so is ...
(h, k) = ((-5, -3) +(3, 2))/2 = (-5+3, -3+2)/2 = (-1, -1/2)
The circle formula is then ...
(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2
(x -(-1))^2 +(y -(-1/2))^2 = r^2
We can find r^2 by substituting one of the points for (x, y).
(3 +1)^2 +(2 +1/2)^2 = r^2 = 16 +6.25 = 22.25
Then the circle equation is ...
(x +1)^2 +(y +0.5)^2 = 22.25
