Find the standard equation of the circle passing through a given point with a given center. center is (10,9) and pass through (2,3).
First we will find the radius: the distance from center (10, 9) to the point (2, 3):
R^2 = (10 - 2)^2 + (9 - 3)^2
R^2 = 100
R^2 = 10^2
Since R is positive we have R = 10.
The standard form of the circle equation is in the format:
(x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2, with the center at the point (h, k) and the radius 'R'
In our case:
(h, k) = (10, 9) that is h = 10 and k = 9.
R = 10
So, the equation of the circle is:
(x - 10)^2 + (y - 9)^2 = 10^2
