LC Illustrates the center-radius form of the equation of a circle

Name:___________________________________________Grade/Section:_____________Score:______
EQUATION OF A CIRCLE
Center-Radius Form or Standard Form
The equation of a circle centered at the origin having a radius of length r is: x 2+ y 2 = r2
The equation of a circle centered at (h,k) having a radius of length r is: ( x−h)2 +( y−k )2 = r2
Examples: 1. Example: Write the equation of a circle with center at the origin and radius 8
Solution: a. Use the equation of a circle with center at the origin and a radius of length r=8.
x 2+y2=r2 x2+y2=82 x2+y2=64
2. Write the equation of a circle with center (5,-2) and radius 4
Solution: . Use the equation of a circle with Center/ (h,k)= (5,-2) and r=4.
( x−h)2 +( y−k )2 = r2
( x−5)2 +( y −(−2))2 = 42
( x−5)2 +( y +2)2 = 16
