Find the equation of a circle with: centre at (-3, -2) and radius 6.

Answer»

The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k) and radius ‘r’ is given by 

(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 

Here, h = -3, k = -2 and r = 6 

∴ The required equation of the circle is

[x – (-3)]2 + [y – (-2)]2 = 62 

⇒ (x + 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 36 

⇒ x2 + 6x + 9 + y2 + 4y + 4 – 36 = 0 

⇒ x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y – 23 = 0
