Question

Write the equation of the following circle in general form and standard form. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation of a circle is given by,

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Here, (h, k) is the center of the circle.

From the graph given in the picture,

Center of the circle → (-1, 1)

Radius of the circle = 3 units

Therefore, standard equation of the circle will be,

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 3²

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 9

General equation of the circle is the expanded form of the standard equation.

x² + 2x + 1 + y² + 1 - 2y = 9

x² + y² + 2x - 2y + 2 = 9

x² + y² + 2x - 2y - 7 = 0

Therefore, general equation of the given circle is,

x² + y² + 2x - 2y - 7 = 0
