Question 1178453: the x and y-axis are tangent to a circle with radius 3 units. Write a standard equation of the circle. show on graph Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The problem doesn't state which quadrant the circle is in.
Assuming the circle is in Q1, the center is at (3,3) and r=3 so you get:
or

If the circle is in Q2, then the center is at (-3,3) and you get:
Q3: center at (-3,-3):
Q4: center at (3,-3):
