Step-by-step explanation:
Points P(1,-2) and Q(7,1) lie on the circumference of the circle
For finding the centre of the circle, we need to Find the coordinate of midpoint of PQ
For x = 1+7/2 For y = -2+1/2
x = 4, y = -1/2
Mid-point of PQ = (4,-1/2)
Putting this value in the given equation 4x+2y=15
4(4)+2(-1/2)=15
16-1 = 15
15 = 15
LHS = RHS
