Answering about a center and a radius of this circle.
Center is at point O(13/2, -1/2)
Radius is 3/2sqrt(2)

Explanation:

If the question is about a center and a radius of this circle, we know that the center lies right in the middle of the endpoints of a diameter. Therefore, the coordinates of a center O(X,Y) are
X = (5+8)/2 = 13/2
Y = (1+(-2))/2 = -1/2

The radius R is a distance from a center O(13/2, -1/2) to any of two endpoints of a diameter. We'll take the point (5,1):
R = sqrt((13/2-5)^2+(-1/2-1)^2)=3/2sqrt(2)
