What Is The Standard Form Of The Equation Of A Circle?
A circle is a set of points (x, y) which are a fixed distance r, the radius, away from a fixed point (h, k), the center.
The equation of the circle in standard form is
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
If a circle is given in general form then we must complete the square on the x and y parts of the equation to rewrite it in standard form.
