Write an equation for a circle with a diameter of that has endpoints at (8,7) and (-4,-3). round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

 Using the distance formula,
d = sqrt(x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2 .
Substituting the values of x and y.
we get,
d = sqrt(-4-8)^2 +(-3-7)^2
d = 2 sqrt 61 

diameter = 2*radius
               = 2 sqrt 61
               = 2 r
               = r
               = sqrt 61
           r^2 = 61 

midpoint of the diameter is: 

Xm= 8-4 / 2
      = 2 
Ym = 7-3 / 2 
      = 2 
Hence,
The center is (2,2) 

General equation of a circle is:
(x-x1)² +(y-y1)² =r²
with,
(x1,y1) being the center of the circle. 
Substituting the values:

(x-2)+(y-2) = 61 

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
