Exercise 6 Page 579

(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2=25

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by recalling the standard 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 ( 4, 1) and its radius is 5. This information is enough to write the equation. (x- 4)^2+(y- 1)^2= 5^2 ⇕ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2=25
