Circle Equation Calculator from Diameter Endpoints

Understanding Circle Equation

The standard form of a circle's equation is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. Given the endpoints of a diameter (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the center (h, k) is the midpoint of the diameter, calculated as h = (x₁ + x₂) / 2 and k = (y₁ + y₂) / 2. The radius r is half the length of the diameter. This tool simplifies finding the circle's equation and visualizing it on a graph. Simply input the coordinates of the diameter endpoints to instantly calculate and see the circle.
