P 1P2 is a chord, and the midline of the chord passes through the center of the circle, so the equation of the midline of P 1P2 is solved.
The midpoint of P 1P2 is (1, -2), the slope is -4/-2 = 2, and the slope of the vertical line is-1/2.
∴ The equation of the midline is y+2=- 1/2*(x- 1).
Simultaneous y=-x, x=3, y=-3.
The center coordinate is (3, -3).
The distance from the center of the circle to P 1 is √( 1+9)=√ 10, that is, the radius is √ 10.
Solution 2:
Let the center coordinate be (t, -t)
The distance formula is √[(t-2)? +t? ]=√[t? +(t-4)? ], the solution is t=3.
∴ The center coordinate is (3, -3)
