Hi,
The given equation is
Now taking the common denominator as 4,
multiply both sides by the common denominator.
==> x^2 + y^2 = 4
This can be compared with the standard equation of the circle which is
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
==> the radius = 2
and the centre is the origin (0,0)
Thus the centre is (0,0) and the radius is 2 units
Good luck!!!
