OBJECTIVES
a) illustrate the different types of conic
sections: parabola, ellipse, circle, hyperbola,
and degenerate conics;
b) define a circle;
c) determine the standard form of an equation
of a circle.

What is a CIRCLE?
▹It is a set of points equidistant
from the given fixed point.
CENTER
▹It is the fixed point of a circle.
RADIUS
▹It is the distance from the
center to any point on the
circle.
EQUATIONS of a CIRCLE
Standard Form: ( x – h )² + ( y – k )² = r²
Center: (h , k)
(x , y )
Radius: r
