2. CIRCLE-
The set of all points on a
plane that are equidistant
from a fixed point on the
plane. The fixed point is
called the center, and the
fixed line is called the
radius.
3. 1) Find the equation of the
circle of radius 4 which is
centered at ( 3, -2) then
sketch its graph.
Solution:
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x – 3)2 + (y –(-2))2 = 42
x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 16
X2 + y2 – 6x + 4y + 13 – 16 = 0
X2 + y2 – 6x + 4y - 3 = 0
6. A. Write the equation of a circle that satisfies the given
condition. Draw its graph
1) Center:( 3, -4), r = 6 6) Center:( 0, 8), r = 5
2) Center:( 5, -12), r = 13 7) Center:( 0, 3), r = 7
3) Center:(5, -3), r = 6 8) Center:( -1, -6), r = 8
4) Center:( 1, -1), r = 3 9) Center:( (2, 4), r = 6
5) Center:( 10, 5), r = 4 10) Center:( 4, -1), r = 6
17. 1) Find the equation of a circle that passes through the points P(1, -2),
Q(5, 4),R(10, 5).
Using x2 + y2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
(1, 2): 1 + 4 + D - 2E + F = 0
(5, 4): 25 + 16 + 5D + 4E + F = 0
(10, 5): 100 + 25 + 10D + 5E + F = 0
Solving simultaneously
D= -18, E = 6, F = 25
Answer: x2 + y2 – 18x + 6y + 25 = 0

23. 2) A circle is tangent to the line 2x – y + 1 = 0 at the point (2, 5) and the
center is on the line x + y = 9. Find the equation of the circle.
Since radius is perpendicular to
2x – y + 1 = 0 at their point of
tangency, then the equation of the
radius is:
2x – y + 1 = 0 m = 2
mr = -1/2 (2, 5)
y- 5 = -

𝑥 − 2 , 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛
x + 2y = 12
x + y = 9
Solving simultaneously
X = 6, y = 3
r = 6 − 2 2 + 3 − 5 2
R = 20, therefore
𝑥 − 6 2
+ 𝑦 − 3 2
= 20 or
Simplifying further
X2 + y2 - 12x – 6y + 25 = 0
