The proof that point (1,3) lies on the circle that is centered at the origin and contains the point (0, 2) is found in the table below. What is the justification
for the 5th statement?
Statement
Justification
A circle is centered at (0, 0) and
contains the point (0, 2).
Given
Definition of radius
The radius of the circle is the distance
from (0, 0) to (0, 2).
The distance from (0, 0) to (0, 2) is
VO-D) +(2-0) - 127-2
Distance formula
Definition of a circle
If (1, 3) lies on the circle it must be
the same distance from the center as
(0, 2).
The distance from (1, 3) is
VO - 1)2 - (0-3)? - v1+3 - 2
Since (1, 3) is 2 units from (0, 0), it
lies on a circle that is centered at the
