A graph tangent to a circle touches the circle at exactly one point. As the graph of
the equation y = x + 1 is tangent to the circle at the point x = 2, the
corresponding y-coordinate of the point of tangency is found by y = (2) + 1, which
simplifies to y = 3. Thus, the circle contains the point (2, 3).

Test 3 / Q38 The standard form of the equation of a circle with radius r and center (h, k) is
570
Explanation given by (x ― h)2 + (y ― k)2 = r2. As the coordinates of the center of the circle
are (1, 4), the equation becomes (x ― 1)2 + (y ― 4)2 = r2. Since the circle
contains the point (2, 3), the equation is satisfied by (x, y) = (2, 3), and so this
point can be substituted for (x, y) to find the value of r2. The equation then
becomes (2 ― 1)2 + (3 ― 4)2 = r2, which simplifies to 12 + (―1)2 = r2, or 2 = r2.
Thus, the square of the radius r of the circle is 2.
