Question

The equation of a circle with diameter endpoints (6,2) and (-3,-3) is:

Options
A (x-1.5)² + (y-0.5)² = 81
B (x-1.5)² + (y-0.5)² = -40.5
Correct Answer
C (x-1.5)² + (y-0.5)² = 45
D (x-1.5)² + (y-0.5)² = -20.25
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using the center (1.5, -0.5) and radius squared 40.5 (half of 81), the equation should be (x-1.5)² + (y+0.5)² = 40.5.
