Demystifying - The equation of a circle review

Drills

Using x² + y² = r² to find radii, test points and build tangent equations at a point.

Author note — to cover (Higher)
  • Fluency — the radius from a circle’s equation and the equation from a radius, squares kept exact (4 questions).
  • Points — testing whether a point lies on, inside or outside a given circle by substitution (4 questions).
  • Tangents — the gradient of the radius to a point, the perpendicular tangent gradient, and the tangent’s equation as a single choice (4 questions).
