find an equation for a circle with center 62 tangent touchin
find an equation for a circle with center (-6,2) tangent touching at one point to the y axis
Solution
standard equation of circle is given by
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
where h , k is the centre and r is the radius
when tangent is touching at one point on y axis
radius of the circle would be 6
hence plugging the values of centre and radius in the standard equation
(x+6)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 6^2
euation for circle is
(x+6)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 36
