highest point and center?
if you were to take two points on a strait line and place a circle that has a diameter greater than the distance of the two points from one another placing the circle so that it's perimeter crosses both points would the highest point of the circle be at the exact center of the two points
this is all on a level plain

If my understanding is correct, these two points of the line segment are both on the circumference of the circle. Since the diameter of the circle is greater than the line segment, there is no way that the center of the line segment is in the EXACT position in the x-y plane as the center of the circle in the x-y plane.
If the line segment is completely horizontal (x-plane) or completely vertical (y-plane), then yes, it's midpoint will match the x or y component of the center of the circle.
