Find the equation of the circle that satisfies the conditions: Center C(4,-1), tangent to the x-axis.

For my answer I got \[(x−4)^2+(y+1)^2=1 \]

Thank you!!! :)

you're probably noticing by now that the radius of a circle tangent to y-axis is equal to the x coordinate and the radius of the circle tangent to x-axis is equal to the y-coordinate...dont stick to that though..that's not always the case
