Answer:

(x -6)^2 +(y -6)^2 = 10

Explanation:

To use the standard form equation for a circle, we need to know the center and the square of the radius. The center can be read from the graph as (6, 6). The square of the radius can be found using the distance formula.

d^2 = (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2

The radius is the distance between the two points shown, so we have ...

d^2 = (7-6)^2 +(9-6)^2 = 1^2 +3^2 = 10

__

The equation of a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r is ...

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

For (h, k) = (6, 6) and r^2 = 10, the equation is ...

(x -6)^2 +(y -6)^2 = 10
