Can we find a circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with exactly 5 points with rational coordinates?
What is obvious is that a circle with a rational center and a rational radius has infinitely many rational points. And that a circle with a radius whose square is irrational and a rational center has no rational points.
I tried finding a circle with 1 rational point but to no avail.

Claim: If the circle has (at least) 3 rational points, then
So the answer is no.
If you're stuck proving these statements, show what you've tried.
