(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

 

What is this?

Definition

Standard form for the equation for a circle.

 

Example:

 

(x - 1)2 + (y +2)2 = 9

 

The center is at (1, -2)

The radius is 32

Term

(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

 

Is (h,k) a point?

Definition

No.

 

(h,k) is the center of a circle and is not a point on the line.

Term

(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

 

Is r2 a point?

Definition

No.

 

 r2 is the radius of the circle.

Term

(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

 

How do you find a point for the graph of this equation?

Definition

1.) Use (h,k) to locate the center of the circle.


2.) Then move up, down, left, or right in the number of spaces away from that center as indicated by the radius.


3.) The point on the graph that you locate is a point on the line of the circle.


4.) By moving in the four cardinal directions from the center, you can mark each of those points and then draw the graph of the circle.

Term

How do you find the center of a circle?
Definition

(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

 

Locate (h,k)

 

*Remember that

(x-h) = 0   (y-k) = 0
