Question from onyeka, a student: find the equation of a circle with point [3,7][5,5] and which center lies on the line x-4y=1 |
If two points lie on a circle they are equidistant from the center. What does this say about perpendicular bisectors? (Perpendicular lines have negative-reciprocal slopes.)
Good Hunting!
