Perpendicular bisector.
You have points A, B, and C. Using a compass and straight edge, find a perpendicular bisector of AB (that is, a line that is perpendicular to AB and intersects AB at the midpoint of AB. Next, find a perpendicular bisector of BC. The two lines you found will meet at the center of the circle.
Start with constructing a circle, then make a diameter from that circle. After you've done that, construct the perpendicular bisector of, the diameter, then draw the line in from the perpendicular bisector. After you've done that, connect the 4 points you have on the circle... then you're done. ^^ Hope this helps. :)

x² + 4x - 18y + 59 = 0 is not a circle; it can be rearranged into: y = (x² + 4x + 59)/18 which is a parabola. You have missed out a y² term. ------------------------------------------------------------ Assuming you meant: x² + 4x + y² - 18y + 59 = 0, then: The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle. The slope m' of a line perpendicular to another line with slope m is given by m' = -1/m The chord y = x + 5 has slope m = 1 → the perpendicular bisector has slope m' = -1/1 = -1 A circle with centre Xc, Yc and radius r has an equation in the form: (x - Xc)² + (y - Yc)² = r² The equation given for the circle can be rearrange into this form by completing the square in x and y: x² + 4x + y² - 18y + 59 = 0 → (x + (4/2))² - (4/2)² + (y - (18/2))² - (18/2)² + 59 = 0 → (x + 2)² +(y - 9)² - 2² - 9² + 59 = 0 → (x + 2)² + (y - 9)² = 4 + 81 - 59 → the circle has centre (-2, 9) (The radius, if wanted, is given by r² = 4 + 81 - 59 = 36 = 6²) The equation of a line with slope m' through a point (Xc, Yc) has equation: y - Yc = m'(x - Xc) → y - 9 = -1(x - -2) → y - 9 = -x - 2 → y + x = 7 The perpendicular bisector of the chord y = x + 5 within the circle x² + 4x + y² - 18y + 59 = 0 is y + x = 7
