Write the equation of the circle in standard form. Find the center, radius, intercepts, and graph the circle.
x^2+y^2-8x-6y+9=0
-----
Complete the square on the x-terms and on the y-terms:
x^2 - 8x + 16 + y^2 - 6y + 9 = 16
-----------
(x-4)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 4^2
------
Center: (4,3)
radius: 4
y-axis intercept: (0,3)
----
x-axis intercepts ??
Let y = 0, then x^2 -8x + 9 = 0
(x-9)(x+1) = 0
x-axis intercepts: (9,0) and (-1,0)
