Answer:
a) center: (-3, 2)
b) radius: √65
c) equation: (x +3)² +(y -2)² = 65
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The center (point A) is the midpoint of the diameter, so its coordinates are the average of the endpoint coordinates:
A = (P +Q)/2 = ((-10, -2) +(4, 6))/2
= (-10+4, -2+6)/2 = (-6, 4)/2
A = (-3, 2)
__
b) The radius is the distance from the center to one end of the diameter. The distance formula can be used to find that.
r = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²) = √((4-(-3))² +(6 -2)²) = √(49+16)
r = √65

c) The circle centered at (h, k) with radius r has formula ...
(x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²
So the formula for this circle is ...
(x +3)² +(y -2)² = 65
