The equation that represents circles that have a diameter of 12 units and a center that lies on the y-axis is x²+ (y-3)² = 36
The standard form for finding the equation of a circle is expressed as;
[tex](x-a)^{2} + (y-b)^{2} = b = r^{2}[/tex]
where;
(a, b) is the center of the circle
r is the radius of the circle
Given the following
diameter = 12 units
radius = 12/2 = 6 units
If the centre lies on the y-axis, the center will be at (0, 3).
Substituting into the formula, we will have[tex](x-0)^{2} + (y-3)^{2} = (6)^{2}[/tex]equivalent to x²+ (y-3)² = 36
