Step-by-step explanation:

You need at least 3 points to define a circle.  By looking at the equation, you can see there are three unknown coefficients: D, E, and F.  Therefore, you must solve 3 equations, so you need 3 points.

The number of rows of a matrix is the number of data points of the matrix.

The number of data points is 3.

The equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{0 = x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F}[/tex]

The number of unknown is the minimum number of data points.

From the equation, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Unknown = D,E, F}[/tex]

The number of unknown variable is 3

Hence, the number of data points is 3.
