Exercise 42 Page 586

(x-6)^2+(y-21)^2=16

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by recalling the standard form of an equation of a circle.

(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 In this form, ( h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. We are told that the center of the circle is ( 6, 21) and its radius is 4. This information is enough to write the equation. (x- 6)^2+(y- 21)^2= 4^2 ⇕ (x-6)^2+(y-21)^2=16
