Does the point (-2.5, 3.5) lie inside, outside or on the circle ?
The equation of circle isÂ
   Â
Comparing it with the standard equation of circle,  we have
h = 0, k=0 and r = 5
∴ Centre of circle is O (0, 0) radius = 5
Distance of point A (-2.5, 3.5) or  from the centre isÂ
                     Â
 Distance of point from centre is less than the radius.
Hence, the point lies inside the circle.
