7-8 Equations of Circles • Objectives: • To write and use the equation of a circle in the coordinate plane.
Standard Equation of a Circle • In general, an equation for a circle center at (h, k) and a radius of r units is: (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 • Please note that the minus signs are part of the equation.
Example 1 • Write an equation for a circle with center C(-3, 6) and diameter of 6 units. (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Example 2 • Graph the circle whose equation is (x + 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = 9
