Given:

Center of the Circle ( 3, -2)

Point (7,1)

Determine the diameter

Formula for the diameter of the circle:

d = 2r

Solution:

Find first the radius of the circle, this can be done by subtracting the center point y of the circle and radius point y of the circle.

Radius = 1 - -2

Radius = 1 + 2

Radius  = 3

Diameter = 2(3)

Diameter = 6

Final answer:
Diameter = 6
