Find the Centre of the Circle and the Radius

Topic:Coordinate Geometry - Circles

The equation of a circle has two forms; general form and standard form.  This question gave the equation in the general form \({x^2} + {y^2} - 4x + 6y - 12 = 0\) . In order to find the centre of circle and the radius of circle, you need to convert to  standard form \({\left( {x - 2} \right)^2} + {(y + 3)^2} = {5^2}\) using the completing the square method.

I created this Blog after my students told me that there is very little information about how to solve GCE O Level Math and Additional Math (A-Math) questions on the internet. Even if they manage to find, the solution were for very basic questions. I am a Full-time Math Tutor in Singapore. I tutor mainly in Northern Singapore (Woodlands, Chua Chu Kang, Bukit Panjang, Yishun and Sembawang). I also tutor in Johor Bahru.
