Circle Equations and Properties

The video tutorial explains how to graph a circle from a given equation by converting it into standard form. It involves completing the square for both x and y parts of the equation, factoring the resulting trinomials, and identifying the circle's center and radius. The tutorial concludes with instructions on plotting the circle on a graph using the identified center and radius.

What is the standard form of a circle's equation?

• (x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = r^2

• x^2 + y^2 = r^2

• (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

• x^2 + y^2 + 2hx + 2ky = r^2
