Find the equation of the circle, the coordinates of the end points of one of whose diameters are A(5, – 3) and B(2, – 4)
Find the equation of the circle, the coordinates of the end points of one of whose diameters are A(5, – 3) and B(2, – 4)

Answer:

The equation of a circle passing through the coordinates of the end points of diameters is (x – x1) (x – x2) + (y – y1)(y – y2) = 0

Substituting the values:(x1, y1) = (5, – 3) & (x2, y2) = (2, – 4)

(x – 5)(x – 2) + (y + 3)(y + 4) = 0

x2 – 2x – 5x + 10 + y2 + 3y + 4y + 12 = 0

x2 + y2 – 7x + 7y + 22 = 0
