What You Need To Know...
The equation of a circle in the coordinate plane.
- The benchmark will be assessed using MC (Multiple Choice) items.
- Items may have given information including the center and the radius of a circle and request the equation.
- Items may give the equation of a circle and request the center and the radius.
Example One
Circle Q has a radius of 5 units with center Q(3.7, -2). Which of the following equations defines circle Q?
- (x + 3.7)2 + (y - 2)2 = 5
- (x + 3.7)2 + (y - 2)2 = 25
- (x - 3.7)2 + (y + 2)2 = 5
- (x - 3.7)2 + (y + 2)2 = 25
