How to solve

A circle is all points a fixed distance (radius) from a center. On a graph, the center is a point and the radius is a segment from center to the circle.

Steps

  1. Find the labeled center C and read its coordinates from the axes.
  2. If asked for radius, measure from C to a point on the circle (often along a drawn radius).

Example

Center C is at (1, −2) and a radius segment has length 3.

  1. r = 3.
  2. Center x = 1, y = −2.

Answer: depends on the question (r, h, or k)
