The distance formula, midpoint formula, and center radius form of the equation of a circle are closely

Question:

The distance formula, midpoint formula, and center radius form of the equation of a circle are closely related in the following problem.

A circle has a diameter with endpoints (-1, 3) and (5, -9). Find the center-radius form of the equation of this circle.

To find the center-radius form, we must find both the radius and the coordinates of the center. Find the coordinates of the center using the midpoint formula. (The center of the circle must be the midpoint of the diameter.)
