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).
