How do you find the center of the circle given the endpoints of the diameter in coordinate geometry?
Gangel264
First, find the coordinates of the diameter midpoint. For example, the endpoints of a diameter have coordinates of (x1, y1) = (1, 2) and (x2, y2) = (7, 6). By the midpoint formula we have:
(xm, ym) = [(x2 - x1)/2, (y2 - y1)/2] = [(7 - 1)/2, (6 - 2)/2] = (3, 2)
Since (x1, y1) it is the closest point to the origin, the coordinates of the center of the circle are:
(xc, yc) = (xm + x1, ym + y1) = (3 + 1, 2 + 2) = (4, 4).

Do all diameters pass through the center of a circle?
Yes. In geometry, a diameter of a Circleis any straight Line_segmentthat passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints are on the circle.
What is a segment whose endpoints are on a circle?
A chord. a diameter also has endpoints on a circle, the only difference is a diameter goes through the center point and a chord doesnt have to go through the center. a diameter is considered a chord.
