[SPLIT] find equation of circle with given diameter endpts

[orlando93bloom]

how do i do this

write an equation of each circle that has a diameter with the given endpoints

1.(-2,0)and (2,0)
2.(2,5)and(2,13)
Thanks

The center (h, k) is at the midpoint of the diameter. The length of the radius "r" is the distance between the center and an endpoint of the diameter.

Once you have computed the value of "r" and the location of (h, k), plug these into the circle equation, (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r².

If you get stuck, please reply showing how far you have gotten. Thank you!
