EXAMPLES:
• The point (1, 2) is on a circle whose center is (5, -
1). Write a standard equation of the circle.
r= 16 9 Simplify.
r= 25 Addition Property
r=5 Square root the result.
EXAMPLES:
• The point (1, 2) is on a circle whose center is (5, -1).
Write a standard equation of the circle.
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 Standard equation of a circle.
r= ( x2 x1 ) 2 ( y2 y1 ) 2
TRY THIS:
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x – 4)2 + (y – (-3))2 = 20
(x – 4)2 + (y + 3)2 = 20
EXAMPLES:
• (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
• (x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 52
• x2 + y2 = 25
EXAMPLES:
• (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
• (x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 122
• x2 + y2 = 144
TRY THIS:
• (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
• (x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 132
• x2 + y2 = 169
Graphing Circles
• Radius: 12
• Center: 0,0
• Equation:
o (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
o (x – 0)2 + (y + 0)2 = 122
o x2 + y 2 = 144
