a circle with center o is shown create the equation for the circle the point is at (1,1) the top touches 1,5 the left touches -3,1 assume the circle goes completely around it
The equation for a circle with center (h,k) and radius r is:
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
Since the center of the circle is at (0,0) and the point on the circle is at (1,1), we can plug these values into the equation:
(1-0)^2 + (1-0)^2 = r^2
1 + 1 = r^2
r^2 = 2
Therefore, the equation for the circle is:
x^2 + y^2 = 2
To ensure the circle passes through the points (1,5) and (-3,1), we can substitute these coordinates into the equation:
(1)^2 + (5)^2 = 2
1 + 25 = 2
26 = 2
(-3)^2 + (1)^2 = 2
9 + 1 = 2
10 = 2
Since both calculations no not yield true statements, this means the circle does not pass through the points (1,5) and (-3,1). Therefore, the information provided does not allow us to determine an accurate equation of the circle.
