Write an equation for a circle with center at (2,3) and radius of 6

Question

aakashsudhakar · Answer

The standard equation for a circle is...

$$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$$
You're given that (h, k) = (2, 3) and that r = 6. Simply plug these values in and solve for the proper equation of the circle.

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
     (h, k) --> (2, 3)
     r = 6
(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 36

Therefore, your circle equation is...

$$(x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 36$$
