Question

Which of the following is the equation for a circle with a radius of rand center
at (h, v)?

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{(x-h)^2+(y-v)^2=r^2-\bold{Standard\ form}}\\\boxed{x^2+y^2-2hx-2vy+h^2+v^2-r^2=0-\bold{General\ form}}`

Explanation:

`(x-h)^2+(y-v)^2=r^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\x^2-2hx+h^2+y^2-2vy+v^2=r^2\qquad\text{subtract}\ r^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2+y^2-2hx-2vy+h^2+v^2-r^2=0`
