Find the equation of circle with the center and passes through the given point.
Problem 1 :
Center : (11, 0)
Point on Circle : (3, 0)
Solution :
Equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r :
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
Centre (h, k) = (11, 0)
(x - 11)2 + (y - 0)2 = r2 --- (1)
The given circle is passing through the point (3, 0).
Then substitute 3 for x and 0 for y.
