Question is attached Find the equation of following attachment ​

Answer»

ANSWER :

{(x  + 1)}^{2}  +  {(y - 7)}^{2}  = 8

EXPLANATION :

The given circle has P(-3,5) and Q(1,9) as its diameter.

The center can be OBTAINED USING the MIDPOINT rule.

( \frac{ - 3 + 1}{2} , \frac{5 + 9}{2} )

( - 1,7)

The radius is obtained using the distance formula,

r =  \sqrt{( - 1 -  (- 3 ))^{2}  +  {(7 - 5)}^{2} }

r =  \sqrt{( 2)^{2}  +  {(2)}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{8}

The equation is given by

{(x - h)}^{2}  +  {(y - h)}^{2}  =  {r}^{2}

We substitute the center and radius to get:

{(x - ( - 1))}^{2}  +  {(y - 7)}^{2}  =  { (\sqrt{8}) }^{2}

{(x  + 1)}^{2}  +  {(y - 7)}^{2}  = 8
