Question

This circle is centered at the point (3, 2), and the length of its radius is 5. What
is the equation of the circle?

Answer 1

Answer:

(x-3)² + (y-2)² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle's equation is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r². When centered at the origin, h and k equal 0. If you shift the circle, say, one unit up, then k equals 1, and the equation is x² + (y-1)² = r².

So for your circle, the equation would be (x-3)² + (y-2)² = 5² or (x-3)² + (y-2)² = 25.
