i'm so sorry..
i thought u wer asking the diameter....
i didnt see the word equation....

suppose the equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 - 2gx - 2fy + c = 0
then.. centre of the circle is in (g,f)
let the equation of the diameter be ax + by + k = 0
then...
if you solve for x=g, y=f
u'll get k.....
all the solutions of the equation ag + bf + k = 0{ we have two variables a,b here but only one equation... so it is linear inequation}
for a and b will represent different diameters of the circle....

size doesnt matter, brains do...
