centered at the origin (x, y)
x2 + y2 = r2 r
y
x

3. Find the equation of the
circle with radius r that is
centered at (h, k) (x, y)
(x- h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2 r
y-k
(h, k) x-h

4. Write an equation for the circle with center (5,3)
and radius 4
(h, k)
(x- h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2
(x - 5)2 + (y - 3)2 = 42
(x - 5)2 + (y - 3)2 = 16

5. Write an equation for a circle if the endpoints of the
diameter are at (2, 8) and (2, –2).
(x- h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2 (2,8)
(2,3)

6. Write an equation for a circle with center at (3, 5) that
is tangent to the y-axis.
(h, k)
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
(x - 3)2 + (y - 5)2 = r2
