equation of circle

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \] first step just replace h with -5 k with -7 The only thing left to determine is the radius and you know (0,0) is a point on the circle so plug in to find r

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

if the centre of circle is (-g,-f),then equation of circle :- \[\large \bf (x+g)^2+(y+f)^2=r^2\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

where (-g,-f)=(-5,-7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like this (x-5)^2 + (y - -7)^2 = r^2

OpenStudy (freckles):

well you replace k with -7 but you didn't replace h with -5

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

see,generalised form of equation of circle :- \[\large \bf (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\] where,(a,b) is centre of circle

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

in your question,(-5,-7) is centre. So, \[\large \bf (x-(-5))^2+(x-(-7))^2=r^2\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

finally,we get \[\large \bf (x+5)^2+(y+7)^2=r^2\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

@mayankdevnani I liked your equation too :)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I plug in (0,0) to find r?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

and it is given that circle is passing through (0,0) plug this value

OpenStudy (freckles):

replace x with 0 and replace y with 0

OpenStudy (freckles):

and actually you don't really need to find r just r^2

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

\[\large \bf (0+5)^2+(y+7)^=r^2\] \[\large \bf 25+49=r^2\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so, \[\large \bf 74=r^2\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

finally, \[\large \bf (x+5)^2+(y+7)^2=74\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see so c then

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
