Write equations of circles from graphs Geometry

Find the equation of the following circles.

-

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(2{,}1\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(0{,}1\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=2.

The equation is:

\left(x-2\right)^2+\left(y-1\right)^2=4

-

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(-1{,}2\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(1{,}2\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=2.

The equation is:

\left(x+1\right)^2+\left(y-2\right)^2=4

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(-2{,}0\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(-1{,}0\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=1.

The equation is:

\left(x+2\right)^2+y^2=1

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(-2{,}1\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(-2{,}3\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=2.

The equation is:

\left(x+2\right)^2+\left(y-1\right)^2=4

-

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(-1{,}1\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(-\dfrac{1}{2},1\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=\dfrac{1}{2}.

The equation is:

\left(x+1\right)^2+\left(y-1\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}

-

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(3{,}0\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(0{,}0\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=3.

The equation is:

\left(x-3\right)^2+y^2=9

-

The equation of a circle is:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)^2=r^2

Where \left(h,k\right) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Here:

  • The center is \left(h,k\right) = \left(-4{,}1\right)
  • The radius is the distance between the center and any point of the circle. \left(-4,-1\right) is on the circle, therefore the radius is r=2.

The equation is:

\left(x+4\right)^2+\left(y-1\right)^2=4
