How to Find Equation of a Circle? (+FREE Worksheet!)

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is (x minus h) squared plus (y minus k) squared equals r squared. If the equation is not in that form, completing the square on both variables gets it there.

Exercises for the Equation of a Circle

Write the standard form equation of each circle.
