circles

Circle

A set of points in the xy plane that are a fixed distance r from a fixed point (h,k), where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Standard Form of a Circle

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is given by (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r².

General Form of a Circle

The general form of a circle where every binomial squared has been multiplied out and every term is on the left side, set equal to 0.

Converting from General Form to Standard

Process involving moving x terms together, y terms together, moving constant term to the other side, completing the square for x and y, and then factoring the left and simplifying the right.
