1. Find the coordinates of the center of the circle. Call it point (a, b). To find this point, calculate the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints, and also the average of the y-coordinates.
2. Find the radius of the circle. Use the formula for distance (which is based on Pythagoras' Theorem). Call the length of the radius "r".
3. The formula for the circle is (x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = r2. Replace the values you found earlier.

semicircle
Why is the following a poor definition for a diameter. A diameter is a line segment with both endpoints on a circle.?
Some segments with both endpoints on a circle are not diameters.
Does diameter has 2 endpoints that are on the circle?
Yes, it have.
Two of the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are at A -6 and 8 and B 6 and -8 1. determine the radius of the circle 2. state an equation of the circle I appreciate the help.?

Segment through the center of a circle with endpoints on the circle?
That's a "diameter" of the circle.
What is a line passing the center of a circle with both endpoints on the circle?
It is the diameter of the circle.
What is a theorem about two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of a diameter?
Two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of its diameter are parallel. See related link for proof.
What is the line passing through the center of a circle with two endpoints on the circle?
The line passing through the center of a circle with two endpoints on the circle is the circle's diameter.
What is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle?
A diameter is a segment that passes through the center of a circle and has both endpoints on the circle.
