\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for a circle: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2,(h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center, r=radius
\n" ); document.write( "For given circle:
\n" ); document.write( "radius=5(distance from y-coordinate of center(-2) to tangent line y=3
\n" ); document.write( "equation:(x-4)^2+(y+2)^2=25 \n" ); document.write( "
