Length of the diameter = sqrt ( (-12- (-8)^2) +(2-0)^2) )
= sqrt (16 + 4) = sqrt20
so radius = sqrt 20 / 2 = sqrt5
so r^2 = 5
Center of the circle = coordinates of the midpoint of the diameter =
-8-12/2 , 2-0 / 2 = (-10, 1)
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 is general form of a circle so here the circle is:_
(x + 10)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 5 Answer
Its B
