A circle is the set of points in a plane that are a fixed distance, called the radius, from a fixed point, called the center. Because all of the points on a circle are the same distance from the center of the circle, you can use the Distance Formula to find the equation of a circle.

Write the equation of a circle with center (–3, 4) and radius r = 6.

Example 1: Using the Distance Formula to Write the Equation of a Circle

Use the Distance Formula with (x2, y2) = (x, y), (x1, y1) = (–3, 4), and distance equal to the radius, 6.

Use the Distance Formula.

Substitute.

Square both sides.

The location of points in relation to a circle can be described by inequalities. The points inside the circle satisfy the inequality (x – h)2 + (x – k)2 < r2. The points outside the circle satisfy the inequality (x – h)2 + (x – k)2 > r2.
