Question

The equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:
  1. A
    (x−h)² + (y−k)² = r²
    Correct
  2. B
    (x+h)² + (y+k)² = r²
  3. C
    x² + y² = r²
  4. D
    (x−h)² − (y−k)² = r²

Correct answer

(x−h)² + (y−k)² = r²

Explanation

Standard form of circle: (x−h)² + (y−k)² = r² where (h,k) is the centre and r is the radius.
