General form of the equation of a circle

Parametric equations of a circle

Standard Equation of a Circle

The standard equation of a circle with the center at $(x_0, y_0)$ and radius $r$ is
$(x^2-x_0) + (y^2-y_0)=r^2$

Parametric Equations of a Circle

The parametric equations of a circle with the center at $(x_0, y_0)$ and radius $r$ are
$x=r cos \theta + x_0\\y=r sin \theta + y_0$

General Equation of a Circle

The general equation of a circle with the center at $(x_0, y_0)$ and radius $r$ is
$x^2+ax+y^2+by+c=0$,
where
$a=-2x_0\\b=-2y_0\\c=x^2_0+y^2_0-r^2$
