(1) let (a,b) is the center point of  circle  (2) (((b−1)/(a+1))).(−3)=−1  ⇒3b−3=a+1 ; a=3b−4  (3) ((∣3a+b+2∣)/( (√(10)))) = (√((a−3)^2 +(b−5)^2 ))  ⇒∣10b−10∣=(√(10)) (√((3b−7)^2 +(b−5)^2 ))  ⇒ 10(b^2 −2b+1)=10b^2 −10b−42b+74  ⇒−20b+10=−52b+74  ⇒32b = 64 → { ((b=2)),((a=2)) :}  (4) radius = (√((2−3)^2 +(2−5)^2 )) =(√(10))  (5) the equation of circle  ∴ (x−2)^2 +(y−2)^2 =10
