Math Problem Statement
Solution
To write the standard form of the equation of the circle shown in the image, we use the general formula for the equation of a circle:
where is the center of the circle, and is the radius.
Step 1: Identify the center of the circle
From the graph, we can see that the center of the circle is at .
Step 2: Calculate the radius
The radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circle. From the graph, the point lies on the circle. The radius is the horizontal distance between the center and this point. We calculate the distance between and :
Thus, the radius .
Step 3: Write the equation
Now we substitute the values of , , and into the standard form equation:
Simplifying:
So, the standard form of the equation of the circle is:
