In the figure below, the circle is centered at the origin and passes through point P.
Which of the following points does it also pass through?
A) (3,3)
B)
C) (2,6)
D)
E) (-3,4)
Solution:
Since the circle is centered at the origin and passes through the point (0,-3), the radius
of the circle is 3.Now, if any other point is on the circle, the distance from that point to
the center of the circle (the radius) must also be 3. Look at choice (B).
Using the distance formula to calculate the distance between
and (0,0) (the origin yields)
d=
