1 Standard Equation of a Circle

A circle with radius r and centre (h, k),

(x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r2 (1)

1.1 Circle with Origin as Centre

x2 + y 2 = r 2 (2)

2 General Equation of a Circle

x2 + y 2 + 2gx + 2f y + c = 0 (3)
p
represents a circle with centre (−g, −f ) and radius = g 2 + f 2 − c.

3 Diameter Form of a Circle

A circle with end points of diameter (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ),

(x − x1 )(x − x2 ) + (y − y1 )(y − y2 ) = 0 (4)
