Point, Line, and Circle
Definition
A circle is a closed two-dimensional
figure in which the set of all the
points in the plane is equidistant
from a given point called “centre”
The Equation of a Circle
whose center is (0,0)
The equation of a circle is given by,
where r is the radius.
Examples
1. What is the equation of a circle whose center is (0,0) and
whose radius is 4 units?
Examples
2. What is the equation of a circle whose center is (0,0) and that
passes through (4,7)
The Equation of a Circle
whose center is at (a,b)
The equation of a circle is given by,
where a and b are the coordinates of
the center of the circle and r is the
radius.
Examples
1. What is the equation of a circle whose center is at (3,1) and
radius is 5?
Examples
2. What is the equation of a circle whose center is (2,-3) and that
passes through (4,5)
Examples
3. What is the equation of a circle whose center is (-3, 2) and
is tangent to the line x=1
