The standard form of the equation of a circle whose centre is at (h, k) and whose radius is r is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2\" compare this with your equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-1%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-2%29%5E2+=+2%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From this point, you can read off the coordinates of the centre and the length of the radius.
\n" ); document.write( "The centre is at (1, 2) and the radius is 2.
