Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Milo writes the edge of a clock face as x² + y² − 2x + 8y − 8 = 0. Which equation is the same circle in standard form?

    • (x − 1)² + (y + 4)² = 8
    • (x − 1)² + (y + 4)² = 25
    • (x + 1)² + (y − 4)² = 25
    • (x − 1)² + (y + 4)² = 5
  2. Noah writes the edge of a pizza as x² + y² + 6x − 4y − 3 = 0. Which equation is the same circle in standard form?

    Use the picture in question 1.

    • (x + 3)² + (y − 2)² = 16
    • (x + 3)² + (y − 2)² = 4
    • (x − 3)² + (y + 2)² = 16
    • (x + 3)² + (y − 2)² = 3
  3. Pia writes the edge of a pond as x² + y² − 8x − 6y + 16 = 0. Which equation is the same circle in standard form?

    Use the picture in question 1.

    • (x + 4)² + (y + 3)² = 9
    • (x − 4)² + (y − 3)² = -16
    • (x − 4)² + (y − 3)² = 3
    • (x − 4)² + (y − 3)² = 9
  4. Ren writes the edge of a drum top as x² + y² + 10x + 2y + 10 = 0. Which equation is the same circle in standard form?

    Use the picture in question 1.

    • (x + 5)² + (y + 1)² = 4
    • (x + 5)² + (y + 1)² = -10
    • (x − 5)² + (y − 1)² = 16
    • (x + 5)² + (y + 1)² = 16

About this worksheet

Circles in general form. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the number that completes a square, and write the bracket it makes.
  • I can turn x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0 into (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r² and read the center and radius.
  • I can tell when an equation is a circle, a single point, or no graph.

Standard: G-GPE.A.1

Words to know

general form: x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0: everything multiplied out.

standard form: (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²: center and radius show.

complete the square: Add (half the x-number)² to make a full square bracket.

constant: The number with no x or y (the F).

Common mistakes

Your child halved the number but did not square it.

Your child squared the whole number instead of half of it.

Your child flipped a sign when writing the bracket or the center.

What to say

Ask: how big is the missing corner square?

Ask: how many strips is the 6x split into?

Ask: does x² − 4x come from (x − 2)² or (x + 2)²?

Questions parents ask
