The endpoints of a diameter of a circle are (2, 4) and (-4, 7). What is the standard form of the equation of this circle?
Enter your answer by filling in the boxes. Enter any fractions in simplified form.
X

(x+1)²+(y-5.5)²=45/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  the common form of the required equation is: (x-a)²+(y-b)²=r², where 'a' and 'b' are the coordinates of the centre of the given circle, r - radius of the given circle.

2) the midpoint of the diameter is the centre of the given circle, its coordinates are:

3) the length of the radius of the given circle is:

4) according to the common form and calculated the centre O(-1;5.5) and the radius it is possible to make up the required equation of the circle:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

p.s.   i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!
