1. The problem is to graph a circle.
2. The standard formula for a circle centered at the origin with radius $r$ is:
$$x^2 + y^2 = r^2$$
3. This formula means that every point $(x,y)$ on the circle is at a distance $r$ from the center $(0,0)$.
4. For example, if we choose $r=1$, the equation becomes:
$$x^2 + y^2 = 1$$
5. This represents a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin.
6. To graph this, you plot all points $(x,y)$ that satisfy the equation.
7. The circle will intercept the axes at points $(1,0)$, $(-1,0)$, $(0,1)$, and $(0,-1)$.
8. The graph is symmetric about both the x-axis and y-axis.
Final answer: The equation of the circle is $$x^2 + y^2 = 1$$ which can be graphed accordingly.
