Answer

$(x-1)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=2$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of an equation of a circle with radius $r$ and center $(h,k)$ is $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$ --- The center of the circle is the midpoint of the two given points on its diameter. $C=(h,k)=\displaystyle \left(\frac{0+2}{2},\frac{1+3}{2}\right)=(1,2)$ The radius is the distance from $(1,2)$ to $(2,3)$. $r=\sqrt{(2-1)^{2}+(3-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{2}$ Circle equation: $(x-1)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=2$
