Worksheet on Equations of Circles

Your Turn: Sample problems:

A. Identify the center and radius of each equation below.

Eq. # Standard Graphing Equation Radius Center

1 ( x – 2 ) 2 + ( y – 5 ) 2 = 144
2 ( x – 0 ) 2 + ( y – 7 ) 2 = 625
3 ( x – 15 ) 2 + ( y + 8 ) 2 = 289
4 ( x + 11 ) 2 + ( y + 6 ) 2 = 324
5 ( x + 4 ) 2 + ( y – 9 ) 2 = 196

B. Given each center and radius below, write the equation of the circle in standard
graphing form.

Eq. # Center Radius Standar Equation

1 ( -5 , 12 ) 13
2 ( 9 , -12 ) 15
3 ( -7 , 0 ) 10
4 ( 11 , 14 ) 9
5 ( -6 , -8 ) 5

Your turn: transform the following equation into standard graphing form, then identify
the center and radius of the circle, and graph the result.

x2 + y2 – 6x – 8y – 75 = 0
