Find the equation of the circle which is tangent to the x-axis at (2,0) and touches the line y=6. (pre calc)
If it's tangent to the x axis at (2,0) and touches the line y = 6, the diameter must be 6, so the radius must be 3
And, it must touch the line y = 6 at the point (2,6)
Then, the midpoint of (2,0) and (2,6) must be the center -1/2 of the diameter -, so we have the center as :
([ 2 + 2] /2 , [6 + 0]/2 ) = (4/2 , 6/2 ) = ( 2, 3)
So....the equation of the circle is (x - 2)^2 + (y -3)^2 = 9
