Answer:
centre = (6, 1 )
Explanation:
The equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
Given
x² + y² - 12x - 2y + 12 = 0
Collect the x and y terms together and subtract 12 from both sides
x² - 12x + y² - 2y = - 12
To obtain the equation in standard form use completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 + y² + 2(- 1)y + 1 = - 12 + 36 + 1
(x - 6)² + (y - 1)² = 25 ← in standard form
with centre = (6, 1 ) and radius =
= 5
