The given vertices of the triangle are .
Find an equation of perpendicular bisector of the side .
The midpoint of .
The slope of is
.
Perpendicular bisector is normal to and passes through the midpoint of
.
So, slope of perpendicular bisector of is 6.
(Point-slope form)
(Substitute
,
)
(Distributive property)
(Subtract y from each side)
Find an equation of perpendicular bisector of the side .
The midpoint of .
The slope of is
.
Perpendicular bisector is normal to and passes through the midpoint of
.
So, slope of perpendicular bisector of is
.
(Point-slope form)
(Substitute
,
)
(Product two same signs is positive)
(Multiply each side by 7)
(Distributive property)
(Subtract 4 from each side)
(Subtract 7y from each side)
Solve a system of equations to find the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors
So, .
Use x value to determine the y-coordinate.
\ (Write the equation)
(Substitute
)
(Add
to each side)
(Simplify)
So,
The coordinates of circumcenter are .
