LEARNING COMPETENCIES:
• Graph and solve problems involving circles and other geometric figures on the coordinate plane.
MINI COMPETENCIES:
Sketch the graph of a circle given center – radius form of the equation
Sketch the graph of a circle given the general form of the equation
Solve word problems involving equations of circles.
Extension (S)
A circle is a set of points (a lucos) which are equidistant from a fixed point called center. The distance
from the center to any point on the circle is called radius.
