Answer:
[tex](x-12)^2+(y+3)=100[/tex]Explanations:
The standard equation of a circle is expressed according to the equation
[tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex]where;
(a, b) is the coordinate of the centre of the circle
r is the radius of the circle;
Get the diameter of the circle;
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{(20-4)^2+(-9-3)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{16^2+(-12)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[]{256+144} \\ D=\sqrt[]{400} \\ D=20\text{units} \end{gathered}[/tex]For the radius of the circle;
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{D}{2} \\ r=\frac{20}{2} \\ r=10\text{units} \end{gathered}[/tex]Get the centre of the circle. Note that the centre will be the midpoint of the given endpoints as shown;
[tex]\begin{gathered} (a,b)=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) \\ (a,b)=(\frac{4+20}{2},\frac{3-9}{2}) \\ (a,b)=(\frac{24}{2},-\frac{6}{2}) \\ (a,b)=(12,-3) \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute the centre (12, 3) and the radius 10 units into the equation of the circle above to have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-12)^2+(y-(-3))^2=10^2 \\ (x-12)^2+(y+3)=100 \end{gathered}[/tex]This gives the equation of the circle whose diameter is the segment with endpoints (4,3) and (20,-9).
