Key Points: Equation of a Circle in Different Forms

Form Condition / Description Equation
Standard form Centre (0, 0), radius r x² + y² = r²
Centre-radius form Centre (h, k), radius r (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²
General form General equation of a circle x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
Centre: (−g, −f)
Radius: √(g² + f² − c)
Diameter form Ends of diameter (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂) (x − x₁)(x − x₂) + (y − y₁)(y − y₂) = 0
Parametric (centre at origin) x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ
Parametric (centre (h, k)) x = h + r cosθ, y = k + r sinθ
Intercepts on Axes  

\[\mathrm{X-axis}=2\sqrt{g^2-c}\]\[\mathrm{Y-axis}=2\sqrt{f^2-c}\]

Condition for Radius:

Condition Result
g² + f² − c > 0 Radius is real → Circle is real
g² + f² − c = 0 Radius = 0 → Point circle
g² + f² − c < 0 Radius imaginary → No real circle
