find the equation of a circle whose diameter is 20 and whose center is at (-2,-6)​

Sagot :

Answer:

Standard Equation:

[tex](x+2)^{2}+(y+6)^{2}=100[/tex]

General Form:

[tex]x^{2}+4x+y^{2}+12y-60=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation for a circle is [tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}[/tex]

where,

x = x coordinate of circle point

h = x coordinate of center point

y = y coordinate of circle point

k = y coordinate of center point

r = radius of the circle

Whereas, the general form is  [tex]x^{2} + y^{2} + Dx + Ey + F = 0[/tex] in which D, E, F are constants.

Since the diameter is given instead of a radius, divide the diameter by two.

Thus, r= 20/2 = 10.

So after substituting h=−2, k=−6, and r=10 into the formula above, we have the standard equation:

[tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\\(x-(-2))^{2}+(y-(-6))^{2}=10^{2}\\(x+2)^{2}+(y+6)^{2}=100[/tex]

To find the general form, we will expand the standard form and bring all terms to the left side.

[tex](x+2)^{2}+(y+6)^{2}=100\\x^{2}+4x+4+y^{2}+12y+36-100=0\\x^{2}+y^{2}+4x+12y-60=0[/tex]
