Answer

Center: $(1,2)$ Radius = $\sqrt 2$ units Equation: $(x-1)^2 +(y-2)^2=2$

Work Step by Step

The center $(h,k)$ will be the midpoint of the endpoints of the diameter: $$(h,k)=\left(\frac{2+0}{2}, \frac{1+3}{2}\right)=(1,2)$$ The raduis r$ $will be the half of the diameter The diameter $d$ is equal to the distance between its endpoints $(0, 1)$ and $(2, 3)$. Thus, $$d=\sqrt{(2-0)^2+(3-1)^2}=\sqrt8=\sqrt{4(2)}=2\sqrt2$$ Hence, the radius is: $$r=\dfrac{2\sqrt2}{2}=\sqrt2$$ Therefore, the standard form of the equation is $$(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=(\sqrt2)^2\\ (x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=2$$
