What are conic sections?
Conic Sections cross section of a cone, or the
intersection of a plane with a right circular
cone.
When this happens, four sections are found
 Circle
 Ellipse
 Hyperbola
 parabola
What is a circle?
 the set of all points in the plane that are
equidistant from a given point in the plane
called the center
 the distance from the center to any point on

the circle is called the radius


Standard Equation of a Circle
 A circle is formed when an arc is drawn from the fixed
point called the centre, in which all the points on the curve
are having the same distance from the centre point of the
centre. We know that there is a question that arises in case
of circle whether being a function or not. It is clear that a
circle is not a function. Because, a function is defined by
each value in the domain is exactly associated with one
point in the codomain, but a line that passes through the
circle, intersect the line at two points on the surface.
 The mathematical way to describe the circle is an equation.
Here, the equation of the circle is provided in all the forms
such as general form, standard form along with the
examples.
Equation of a Circle When the
Centre is Origin
Equation of a Circle When the
Centre is Origin
 Consider an arbitrary point P(x, y) on the circle.
Let ‘a’ be the radius of the circle which is equal
to OP.
 We know that the distance between the
point (x, y) and origin (0,0)can be found using
the distance formula which is equal to –
√[x2+ y2]= a
 Therefore, the equation of a circle, with the centre
as the origin is,
x2+y2= a2
 Where “a” is the radius of the circle.
Equation of a Circle When the Centre is not an Origin
 Let C(h, k) be the centre of the circle and P(x, y) be any
point on the circle.
 Therefore, the radius of a circle is CP.
 By using distance formula,
 (x-h)2 + (y-k)2 = CP2
 Let radius be ‘a’.
 Therefore, the equation of the circle with centre (h,

k)and the radius ‘a’ is,

(x-h)2+(y-k)2 = a2
 which is called the standard form for the equation of a
circle.
Example # 1:
Consider a circle whose centre is at the origin
and radius is equal to 8 units.
Solution:
Given: Centre is (0, 0), radius is 8 units.
We know that the equation of a circle when
the centre is origin:
x2+ y2 = a2
For the given condition, the equation of a
circle is given as x2 + y2 = 82
x2 + y2= 64, which is the equation
of a circle
Example #2
Find the equation of the circle whose centre
is (3,5) and the radius is 4 units.
Solution:
Here, the centre of the circle is not an origin.
Therefore, the general equation of the circle
is,
(x-3)2 + (y-5)2  = 42
x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 -10y +25 = 16
x2 +y2 -6x -10y + 18 =0
Example # 3
Equation of a circle is x2+y2−12x−16y+19=0. Find the
centre and radius of the circle.
Solution:
Given equation is of the
form x2+ y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,
2g = −12, 2f = −16,c = 19
g = −6,f = −8
Centre of the circle is (6,8)
Radius of the circle
= √[(−6)2 + (−8)2 − 19 ]= √[100 − 19] =
 =  √81 = 9 units.
 Therefore, the radius of the circle is  9 units.
