What is the equation of the circle with center (2,6) radius 5?

Question

anonymous · Answer

the equation of a circle is:
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2
 where (h,k) is a point on the circle and r is the radius
what can you plug into the formula with the given information?

@Maymay07   The equation of a circle with center (h, k) is given by$$(x -h)^{2}+(y -k)^{2}=r ^{2}$$where (h, k) is the center of the circle, NOT a point on the circle as @etemplin stated, and r is the radius of the circle.

That's OK, it happens but you must pay more attention to detail, especially when you're trying to teach someone.
