After writing the equation of a circle given its graph, your target now is
to learn to graph a circle given its equation. In order to graph a circle, you
have to consider the lists below.
Graphing a Circle
What is It
Solution:
Step 1. Determine the center and the radius.
Center = (0, 0)
Radius = √25 = 5
Step 2. Construct a coordinate plane then plot the center which is at the origin
(0, 0).Label it as Point C.
Step 3. Plot the radius points. The radius points are located using the length
of the radius from the center. Extend the length of the radius in four
directions: left, right, up, and down. Since the radius is 5 units and
the center has coordinates (0,0), 5 radius points could be obtained by
Counting5 units to the left from (0,0), or subtracting 5 from the
x-coordinate and carry the y-coordinate of the center. We let
this radius point as A. The coordinates of A is (-5,0).
Counting5 units to the right from (0,0), or adding 5 from the x-
coordinate and carry the y-coordinate of the center. We let this
radius point as B. The coordinates of B is (5,0).
5
CO_Q2_Math 10_ Module 25
Counting5 units upward from (0,0), or adding 5 from the y-
coordinate of the center and carry the x-coordinate of the
center. We let this radius point as D. The coordinates of D is
(0,5).
Counting5 units downward from (0,0), or subtracting 5 from
the y-coordinate of the center and carry the x-coordinate of the
center. We let this radius point as E. The coordinates of E is
(0,-5).
Step 4. Connect the radius points to sketch the graph of the circle.
x
(0,0)
6
CO_Q2_Math 10_ Module 25
Counting5 units to the right from (-3,-5), or adding 5 from the
x-coordinate and carry the y-coordinate of the center. We let
this radius point as J. The coordinates of J is (2,-5).
Counting5 units upward from (-3,-5), or adding 5 from the y-
coordinate of the center and carry the x-coordinate of the
center. We let this radius point as F. The coordinates of F is (-
3,0).
Counting5 units downwards from (-3,-5), or subtracting 5 from
the y-coordinate of the center and carry the x-coordinate of the
center. We let this radius point as G. The coordinates of G is (-
3,-10).
Step 4. Connect the radius points to sketch
X the graph of the circle.
Y
(x + 3)² + (y + 5)² = 25
(- 3, -5)
Step 5. Based from the graph, identify two exact points (ordered pairs) on the
circle. From the illustration in Step 4, possible answers are(0, −9) and
(−6, −1). To verify if these points are on the circle, check if each point
satisfy the equation. Let us check (0,-9).
(x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 25
(0 + 3)2 + (−9 + 5)2 = 25 Substitute the coordinates in the
equation of the circle.
(3)2 + (−4)2 = 25 Simplify
25 = 25 Since (0, −9) satisfies the equation,
hence the point is on the circle.
(-6,-1) also satisfies the equation, thus it also a point on the circle. Can you
show it?

Example 3. The ends of the diameter of ʘC are points A(−5, 3) and B(3, 1).
What is the equation of this circle in general form?
Solution:
(-5,3)
(3, 1)
Step 1. Find the length of the diameter, 𝑑 using the distance formula.
𝑑 = ඥ(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
Let A be 𝑃1 (−5,3) and B be 𝑃2 (3,1)
𝑑 = ඥ(8)2 + (−2)2
𝑑 = √64 + 4
𝑑 = √68
𝑑 = 2√17
𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟
𝑟=

Step 3. The center of a circle is the midpoint of a diameter. Thus to find the
coordinates of the center given the endpoints of a diameter, use the
midpoint formula.
𝑥1 + 𝑥2 𝑦1 + 𝑦2

𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟 = (−1, 2)
Example 4
Write in standard form the equation of the circle that has its center at (1,-4)
and tangent to the x-axis.
Solution:
Step 1: Illustrate the given.
A circle tangent to the x-axis is the same with a circle tangent to a line.
It means that if a circle is tangent to the x-axis, then the circle touches the x-
axis at exactly one point. In the illustration, let the center of the circle as A
and the point of intersection of the circle with the x-axis as B.
(1,-4)

CO_Q2_Math 10_ Module 25
Step 3: Substitute the coordinates of the center and the length of the radius
in the equation of the circle in standard form.
(x-1)2 + (y+4)2 = 16
Example 5
A triangle has vertices S(-2, 5), U(3,8), and N(8, 5). Find the area of the

Area= 2 (10)(3)

The area of the triangles is 15 square units.

Example 6
The Mayon Volcano is a tourist attraction in Albay, famous for its near
perfect cone shape. When it threatens to erupt, residents within the eight-
kilometer radius danger zone are advised to evacuate. Should a resident at
8km East and 9km South of the volcano evacuate? Why or why not?
Solution:
Let the Mayon Volcano be located at the point of origin and let 1 km
distance be 1 unit. Draw a circle with center at the point of origin and 8 units
radius to show the eight- kilometer radius danger zone, as illustrated in the
figure that follows. This means that any resident inside and on the circle is
within the danger zone.
To answer the problem, plot 8km East and 8 km South in the Cartesian
Plane. Follow the direction of East and South on a map, 8 km East is
equivalent to 8 units to the right and 9 km South is equivalent to 9 units
downward as shown in the figure that follows. In the illustration, the location
of the resident is represented by the house and it is outside the circle. This
indicates that the resident is not within the 8 km. danger zone. Thus, the
resident is not advised to evacuate.
8 km East
9 km
South
11
CO_Q2_Math 10_ Module 25
The derived inequality is incorrect, thus a resident located 8 km East
and 9 km South from the Mayon Volcano is not located within the danger
zone. He/she does not need to evacuate.
Example 7:
Telecommunication towers can be used to transmit cellular phone calls. A
graph with units measured in kilometers shows towers at points (0,0), (0,5),
and (6,3) . These towers have a range of about 3 kilometers.
a. Sketch a graph and locate the towers.
b. Are there any locations that may receive calls from more than one
tower? Explain your reasoning.
Solution:
a. Sketch the graph and locate the towers. Let 1 km equivalent to 1 unit
in the coordinate plane and the towers are illustrated by the points.
b. Are there any locations that may receive calls from more than one
tower? Explain your reasoning.

transmit calls using the signals from 2 towers.
