Circle Geometry and Equations

The video tutorial covers the concept of circles in the coordinate plane, focusing on the equation of a circle derived from the distance formula. It provides examples of writing circle equations with given centers and radii, and demonstrates how to graph circles using equations and tables. The tutorial concludes with advanced techniques for manipulating circle equations and a preview of the next chapter on statistics.

What is the basis for the equation of a circle in the coordinate plane?

• The Pythagorean theorem

• The distance formula

• The midpoint formula

• The slope formula

In the distance formula, what do x1 and y1 represent?

• The diameter of the circle

• The coordinates of the center of the circle

• The coordinates of a point on the circle

• The radius of the circle

How is the radius represented in the equation of a circle?

• As the sum of the coordinates

• As the square of the distance

• As the square root of the sum of squares

• As the square root of the distance

What is the general form of the equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r?

• (x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = r^2

• (x + h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

• (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

• (x - h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = r^2

If a circle has a center at (4, -2) and a radius of 3, what is its equation?

• (x - 4)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 9

• (x + 4)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

• (x + 4)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 9

• (x - 4)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

What is the radius of a circle with center (-6, 3) that passes through (-2, 6)?

• 6

• 5

• 4

• 3

How can you graph a circle given its equation?
