CIRCLES IN THE

COORDINATE
PLANE
Circle
The set of all points in a plane all of which are
equidistant from a given point.

C r

This will be used as the guiding principle in deriving


the equation of circles in the coordinate plane.
Circle with Center
(0,0) and Radius (r)
If P has coordinates (x,y)
P(x,y) and C has coordinates
r
(0,0), then use the distance
C(0,0)
formula to derive the
equation of the Standard
Form of a Circle.
Standard Form of a Circle
The standard form of the equation of a
circle with center at (0,0) and radius r is
2 2 2
𝑥 +𝑦 =𝑟 .
Example 1.
Find the equation of a circle with center
at (0,0) and radius 7.
Example 2.
Determine the center and radius of a
circle whose equation is 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 32.

Example 3.

2 2
circle whose equation is 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 36.
Circle with Center
(h,k) and Radius (r)
P(x,y)
If P has coordinates (x,y)
r and C has coordinates
C(h,k) (h,k), then use the distance
formula to derive the
equation of the Standard
Form of a Circle.
Standard Form of a Circle
The standard form of the equation of a
circle with center at (h,k) and radius r is
2 2 2
(𝑥 − ℎ) +(𝑦 − 𝑘) = 𝑟 .
Example 1.

at (-3,2) and radius 4 units.
General Form of the Equation

Example 1.
Determine the center and the radius of a
circle whose equation is
2 2
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 6𝑥 − 4𝑦 − 3 = 0.
General Form of the Equation
of a Circle
2 2
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝐷𝑥 + 𝐸𝑦 + 𝐹 = 0.
Example 2.
Determine the center and the radius of a
circle whose equation is
2 2
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 8𝑥 − 6𝑦 − 24 = 0, then
sketch its graph.

The existence of a circle depends on the value of 𝑟 .
2 2 2
If in (𝑥 − ℎ) + 𝑦 − 𝑘 =𝑟

𝑟 2 > 0, then the graph is a circle,


2
𝑟 = 0, then the graph is a point circle,

𝑟 2 < 0, then the graph does not exist.


Determine whether the equation
2 2
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 2𝑥 − 6𝑦 + 12 = 0
represents a circle, a point, or has no
graph.
