circle is the locus of apoint which moves such that its locus from a fixed point always remains constant. if (h,k) is the fixed point and let (x,y) be any point on the locus,then \[\left| \sqrt{x-h)^2+(y-k)^2}=r \right|\]\[where~r~is~the~fixed~distance \] squaring \[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\] fixed point is called the centerand fixed distance=radius.

imyoursgirlsgirl:

im still confused

surjithayer:

first find the distance from the center to a point on the circle here (x,y)=(1,8),(h,k)=(-3,5) so find r

imyoursgirlsgirl:

how do i find r

surjithayer:

\[r=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(8-5)^2}=\sqrt{(1+3)^2+3^2}=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5\] now write the eq. of circle.

surjithayer:

can you write or still have aproblem.

surjithayer:

\[(x-(-3)^2+(y-5)^2=5^2\] or \[(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2=25\]

imyoursgirlsgirl:

i got it thx
