Transcript text: Find the equation of the circle shown.
Write equation in standard form: $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the center of the circle
The center of the circle is at the point (2, -2).
Step 2: Determine the radius of the circle
The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circle. From the graph, the radius is 2 units.
Step 3: Write the equation of the circle in standard form
The standard form of the equation of a circle with center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) is:
\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]
Substituting \(h = 2\), \(k = -2\), and \(r = 2\):
\[
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 2^2
\]
\[
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4
\]
