Write the equation of a circle that has a center at the origin and a radius with a length of 5 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I can help you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the standard form of a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you find it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 25? that doesn't seem like an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here's what I was looking for: (give me a second to write it out)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x - h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where the center is (h,k) and the radius length is r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know I suck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not true you can do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said the center is the origin right? what are the coordinates for the origin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hleper what are the coordinates of the origin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should look like (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at least put some sort of effort into it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the numbers x and y indicate how far up or down on the y axis and how left or right on the x axis the point is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you are at the origin you don't move up, down, left, or right at all, so you are at 0 units for both x and y. can you write that out?
