Circles
( x h) ( y k ) r
2 2 2
(Square
each side)
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
x2 + y 2 = r2
E.g. 5—Graphing a Circle
(a) x2 + y2 = 25
(x – 2)2 + (y + 5)2 = 9
E.g. 6—Equation of a Circle Example (b)

2 , 2 (3, 1)
E.g. 6—Equation of a Circle Example (b)
r2 = (3 – 1)2 + (1 – 8)2
= 22 + (–7)2
= 53
E.g. 6—Equation of a Circle Example (b)
(x – 3)2 + (y – 1)2 = 53
Equation of a Circle
x2 + y2 + 2x – 6y + 7 = 0
represents a circle.

(Complete the square by
adding 1 and 9 to each side)

(Factor and simplify)
E.g. 7—Identifying an Equation of a Circle
h = –1, k = 3, r = 3
x = y2 (Simplify)
• x is replaced by –x since
(–x)2 = x2
• y is replaced by –y since
(–y)2 = y2
