$$\mathrm{well},\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{use}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{formula}\:\mathrm{every}\:\mathrm{time}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{have} \\ $$$$\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{circle}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{center}\:\left(\mathrm{0}\mid\mathrm{0}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{radius}\:{r}… \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{question}\:\mathrm{seems}\:\mathrm{strange}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{me}. \\ $$

$$\left({x}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\left({y}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({x}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{y}−{b}\:=\:\pm\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({x}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{y}\:=\:\pm\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({x}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }−{b} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Plot}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{this}\:\mathrm{equation}\:\mathrm{looks}\:\mathrm{like}\:\mathrm{a} \\ $$$$\mathrm{circle}. \\ $$

$${for}\:{me}\:\left({x}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{looks} \\ $$$${more}\:{like}\:{a}\:{circle}\:{than} \\ $$$${y}\:=\:\pm\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({x}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }−{b}. \\ $$
