Find the equation of a circle with centre (2, 2) and passes through the point (4, 5).
Solution:
The equation of circle is
( x – h ) 2 + ( y – k ) 2 = r 2 ....(i)
Since the circle passes through point (4, 5) and co-ordinates of centre are (2, 2)
∴ radius of circle =√ ( 4 − 2 ) 2 + ( 5 − 2 ) 2 = √ 4 + 9 = √ 13
Now the required equation of circle is( x – 2 ) 2 + ( y – 2 ) 2 = ( √ 13 ) 2
⇒x 2 + 4 – 4x + y 2 + 4 – 4y = 13 ⇒ x 2 + y 2 – 4x – 4y – 5 = 0.
Since the circle passes through point (4, 5) and co-ordinates of centre are (2, 2)
∴ radius of circle =
Now the required equation of circle is
