Example Question #11 : Circles
Which of the following is the equation of a circle with center at the origin and circumference ?
None of the other responses gives the correct answer.
None of the other responses gives the correct answer.
The standard form of the equation of a circle is
,
where the center is and the radius is .
The center of the circle is the origin, so .
The equation will be
for some .
The circumference of the circle is , so
The equation is , which is not among the responses.
Example Question #3 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
Which point best represents the coordinate ?
B

D
D
To get to , move right along the x-axis by , then move up on the y-axis by .
The sign in front of each number represents which direction to go on the x or y-axis starting at the origin . If the number is positive you go right on the x-axis or up on the y-axis. If the sign is negative then you move to the left on the x-axis or down on the y-axis.

Which point best represents the coordinate ?
C
B
A
D
D
The sign in front of each number represents which direction to go on the x or y-axis starting at the origin . If the number is positive you go right on the x-axis or up on the y-axis. If the sign is negative then you move to the left on the x-axis or down on the y-axis.
To get to , only move up by on the y-axis. Do not move along the x-axis because the x-coordinate is .
