Question

Find the equation for the circle with center (2,5) and passing through (3,5).

Write the equation for the circle.
(Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

`(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 1`

Explanation:

The radius is the distance from the center to a point oh the circle, in this case 1.

Substituting into the general formula for the equation of a circle, we get the equation to be

`(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 1`
