Intercepts and Parametric Equation

For x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0, the source gives axis intercepts and circle parametrisation.

x-axis intercept=2g2−c\text{x-axis intercept}=2\sqrt{g^2-c}
y-axis intercept=2f2−c\text{y-axis intercept}=2\sqrt{f^2-c}
x=h+rcos⁡θ,y=k+rsin⁡θx=h+r\cos\theta,\quad y=k+r\sin\theta
