Answer:
[tex] \rm\displaystyle (x - 4) ^{2} + {(y + 4)}^{2} = 36[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the given points are the diameter points of circle because notice that in the both points y coordinate is the same therefore it's a horizontal diameter
since (10,-4),(-2,-4) are the diameter points of the circle the midpoint of the diameter will be the centre of the circle
remember midpoint formula,
[tex] \displaystyle M = \left( \frac{x _{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{ y_{2} + y_{2}}{2} \right)[/tex]
let,
- [tex] \displaystyle x _{1} = 10[/tex]
- [tex] \displaystyle x _{2} = - 2[/tex]
- [tex] \displaystyle y _{1} = - 4[/tex]
- [tex] \displaystyle y _{2} = -4[/tex]
thus substitute:
[tex] \rm\displaystyle M = \left( \frac{10 + ( - 2)}{2} , \frac{ - 4 + ( - 4)}{2} \right)[/tex]
simplify addition:
[tex] \rm\displaystyle M = \left( \frac{8}{2} , \frac{ - 8}{2} \right)[/tex]
simplify division:
[tex] \rm\displaystyle M = \left( 4, - 4 \right)[/tex]
so the centre of the circle is (4,-4)
since it's a horizontal diameter the the redious will be the difference between the x coordinate of the Midpoint and the any x coordinate of the given two points but I'll use (-2,-4) therefore the redious is
[tex] \displaystyle r = 4 - ( - 2)[/tex]
simplify which yields:
[tex] \displaystyle\boxed{ r =6}[/tex]
recall the equation of circle
[tex] \displaystyle (x - h) ^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = {r}^{2} [/tex]
we acquire that,
therefore substitute:
[tex] \rm\displaystyle (x - 4) ^{2} + {(y - ( - 4))}^{2} = {6}^{2} [/tex]
simplify:
[tex] \rm\displaystyle (x - 4) ^{2} + {(y + 4)}^{2} = 36[/tex]
and we are done!
