Complete the Squares for the variables.

can be general form for a circle. Let this be changed because A and B would be equal if this is a circle.

Instead, say , now the coefficients no longer being the same values as the previous general form equation. Continue working with this one.

--------this is the standard form, equivalent to the general form.

You would need to make some adjustments if the coefficients on x^2 and y^2 are not both equal to 1, before you start the conversion for your specific equation.

The center of the circle would be at , , and the radius is .
