In this lesson we’ll look at the equation for a circle and how to use it to graph a circle, interpret points on a circle and write an equation given a graph or the special features of a circle. A circle can be defined by a center point and a radius of a certain length. In the equation of a circle.
Read MoreGiven the equation of a circle, we can put the equation in standard form, find the center and radius of the circle from the standard form, and then use the center and radius to graph the circle. Alternately, given the graph of the circle, we can identify the center and radius from the graph and then plug those values into the standard equation of the circle in order to get its equation.
