circumference is looooooooong

Name: Anonymous 2008-11-29 19:12

Find the ecuation of the circumference:
A(3,2) and B(-1,3) are points of the circumference, and it's centre belongs to the line r: 3x-y-2=0

How do I solve this problem?
Also long circumference is looooooooong

you want the equation of the circle?

make equation for line (chord) AB
make equation for perpendicular bisector (a line) of AB
the center is the intersection point of that bisector and the line 3x-y-2=0.
the radius is the distance from that intersection point to your choice of A or B.

Thanks, but I didn't get one thing.
How do I make equation for perpendicular bisector?

>>4
Find slope of AB
Take -1/slope (slope of perpendicular line)
Find midpoint of AB

Don't change these.
