LESSON 1: CIRCLE
Circle
- A set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called center. The
distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius of the circle, where
by denoted by r, r > 0.
Standard Form of the Equation of a Circle
The general equation of a circle can be derived using the distance formula. Recall that the
distance between two points is
𝑑 = √(𝑥2− 𝑥1 )2 +(𝑦2− 𝑦1 )2
Example 1: Determine the standard equation of the circle given the coordinates of its center and
the length of radius.
1. center at (2, -3) and r = 3
Get the center (h, k):
Opposite sign when writing: (-2, 3) 32 = (𝑥 − 2)2 +(𝑦 + 3)2

Example 2: Given the standard form of the equation, find the coordinates of the center and the
radius of each circle.
3. 25 = (𝑥 + 9)2 +(𝑦 − 1)2
The center is (-9, 1) and r = 5
Note: Center should be the opposite sign and radius, square root of 25.

Transforming Equation of a Circle from the General Form to the Standard Form and vice
versa
Example 1: Determine the standard form of the equation of the circle
4𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 − 4𝑥 + 24𝑦 + 1 = 0
Solution:
Divide the equation by 4

𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 𝑥 + 6𝑦 + 4 = 0

Use completing the square to complete the equation of x and add 4 to the right side, complete the
equation of y and add 9 to the right side to make it balance.

Example 2: Determine the general form of the equation of the circle
(𝑥 + 5)2 + (𝑦 − 6)2 = 4
Solution:
Expand the equation and transpose 4 to the left side.
𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 + 25 + 𝑦 2 − 12𝑦 + 36 − 4 = 0
Arrange and simplify
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 10𝑥 − 12𝑦 + 57 = 0
General Form: 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 10𝑥 − 12𝑦 + 57 = 0
Graph of a Circle
Each given equation must be in the standard form to be able to sketch the graph of a circle. The
graph provides a clear view of its center and radius.
