Problem

The endpoints of a diameter of a circle are A(2,−3)A(2,-3) and B(8,5)B(8,5). (i) Determine the coordinates of the centre of the circle. (ii) Calculate the length of the radius. (iii) Write the equation of the circle in standard form (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. (iv) Rewrite the equation obtained in part (iii) in the expanded general form x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0. State the values of g, fg,\,f and cc.
