Learn about the general equation of circles in form with radius 'r' and centre (a, b), with examples and formulas for finding centre and radius.
E N D
General Form where r is the radius and (a, b) is the centre.
Example • A circle of centre (5, −4) and radius 3 has equation
Centre (4, −3) and circle touches x-axis • Radius = 3
Different Form To find out what is g, f and c, expand the general form: Rearrange: g = -a f = -b c = centre (a, b) (−g, −f). Radius =
Example • Given equation of circle is , find its centre and radius. (1) From (1): Centre is (3, 2) and radius is
