The center of the circle is (0, 0) and the radius is 6. This is derived from the standard form of a circle's equation, which is \( (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 \). Here, \( h \) and \( k \) represent the center's coordinates, and since the equation simplifies to \( x^2 + y^2 = 36 \), it indicates the center is at the origin and the radius \( r \) is the square root of 36. For graphing, you would draw a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 6. You can plot points at (6,0), (0,6), (-6,0), and (0,-6) to guide you in creating a perfect circle. To find the intercepts, since the center is at (0,0), both the x-intercepts and y-intercepts are where the circle intersects the axes: x-intercepts at (6,0) and (-6,0), and y-intercepts at (0,6) and (0,-6).
