Question 1042507: I think this is the correct area for this, being as it has to do with graphs. I need help graphing a circle, but my graphing calculator refuses to let me equal the equation to 15 instead of Y. Could anyone please explain how to graph this: x^2+y^2=15 ? I know it seems very simple, but I'm stuck! Answer by ikleyn(52780) (Show Source):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
= 15
is the circle with the center at the origin of a coordinate system with the radius r = .
In general, if you have an equation = , it desrcibes a circle with the center at the point (h,k) and the radius of .
You can express y = from the equation.
May be, your calculator is able to plot these functions
y = and y = -,
that represent the upper and the lower parts of the circle?
