My answer:
The basic formula for a circle is this: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
"h" is the x value from the center point and "k" is the y value from the center point.........(ex.) the ordered pair for the center point is (h,k)
If your center is (5,4) and the radius is 7, then your equation should look like (x-5)^2+(y-4)^2=49
To graph this, you would graph the center. Then, you would go up, down, right, and to the left of that point for 7 units. If you had a compass, you would just connect the points with a better circle look. If not, then good luck freehanded. The line would be round hence that it is a cirlce.
