Circles and Conic Sections 2
A series of free, online video lessons with examples and solutions to help Algebra
students learn about circles conic sections.
What is the standard form of the equation of a circle?
A circle is a set of points (x, y) which are a fixed distance r, the radius, away from a fixed point (h, k), the center.
The equation of the circle in standard form is
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
If a circle is given in general form then we must complete the square on the x and y parts of the equation to rewrite it in standard form.
Conic Sections: The Circle
In this video, you will learn how to identify the equation of a circle, how to write the standard form of a circle from the general form and how to graph a circle.
