Standard equation of a circle: <em>(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²</em> where <em>(h, k)</em> is the center and <em>r </em>is the radius. In the case of our equation here, <em>(x-5)² + (y+3)² = 25</em>, we can conclude that our circle has a center at (5, -3) and a radius of 5 units.
We can use the distance formula with the center (5, -3) and our point (2, 3) to see how far away they are...if the distance between them is less than the radius of the circle, it is on the interior. If it's equal, it's on the circle. If it's greater, it's on the exterior.

Answer:
It can be concluded that the intersection of a chord and the radius that bisects it is at right angle. The two are perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
i. Construct the required circle of any radius as given in the question, then locate the chord. A chord joins two points on the circumference of a circle, but not passing through its center.
ii. Construct the radius to bisect the chord, dividing it into two equal parts.
Then it would be observed that the intersection of a chord and the radius that bisects it is at right angle. Thus, the chord and radius are are perpendicular to each other.
The construction to the question is herewith attached to this answer for more clarifications.
