Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, the vertices of circumcenter has been asked .
Now , suppose the vertices are (x,y)
So, (x+1)^2+(y-1)^2 = x^2 + (y+4)^2
x^2 + 1 + 2x + y^2 +1-2y = x^2 + y^2 +16 + 8y
or, 2x-14=10y .....(1)
Similarly, we can find other distances.
x^2 + (y+4)^2 = (x+1)^2+(y+5)^2
or, 16+8y = 1+2x + 25 + 10y
-2y -2x =10 .....(2)
Now add (1) & (2),
we have :
-2y-14 = 10y +10
12y =-24
y = -2
So, from (1),
2x-14 =10y
2x -14 = 10*(-2)
2x = -20+14 = -6
So x = -3
