Introduce the Cartesian coordinate system with the base for the axis and the origin at the midpoint of the segment . The slope-intercept form of the line is determined by the angle it makes with  and its intercept : the equation is .

Suppose that has coordinates and the coordinates of the circumcenter are . Let be the circumradius. The four independent conditions
