Example
1. Determine the distance between the two
given points A (3, 5) and B (-4, 4).
2. Determine the distance from the point
(3, 2) to the line 4x – 3y- 5=0.
3. Determine the equation of a circle having
a center at (0,0) and its tangent to line
4x -3y=5.
Example
4. Determine the equation of a circle having
a
center at O (0,0) and passes through point
(6,2).
a. P( -3, p) , x2 +y2 = 25
b. P (p, 1 ) , (x – 3)2 + (y+2)2 = 34
Changing Standard form to General form
General form:
x2 + y2 – 2hx – 2ky + (h2 + k2 – r2) =0
Let D = -2h E = -2k and F = h2 + k2 – r2
Therefore: x2+ y2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
