Equation of a circle

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is given by the formula:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

In this equation, (x, y) represents any point on the circle. The values of h and k denote the coordinates of the circle's center, and r represents the circle's radius.
