The general form of the equation of a circle is (x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) is the center point and r is the radius. This is used in the coordinate plane. Therefore, we just need to plug in our numbers:

(x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r^2
x^2 + y^2 = 5^2 (something minus 0 doesn't change that number)
x^2 + y^2 = 25.

This is the standard equation for a circle with radius 5.

the general form of the equation of the circle
is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where Center: (h,k)& r=radius
now putting Center: (0, 0); radius: 5
we get (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2
or x^2+y^2=25
