which is the general form of the equation of the circle shown?
From the equation, get the fixed point and the given distance. The general form for the equation of a circle is: (x - (h))^2 + (y â (k)^2) = r^2 That is needed to get the center and the radius. From the center point, find points that are r distance away and plot them.
But circle equations are often given in the general format of ax2 + by2 + cx + dy + e = 0, When you are given this general form of equation and told to find the center and radius of a circle, you will have to complete the square to convert the equation to center-radius form.
