How can I plot a circle in the X-Y plane, only knowing the radius and location of the circle center?

I have Mathcad Prime 8.0.

    One more request.  Is there a way to modify the above where there is a circle intercept at (0,0) ?

     

    Thanks for your help.

    I am not sure what you mean. If you know the center of the circle and if you demand that (0,0) should be a point of the circles circumference, you sure are able to calculate the circle radius and so can use the very same approach which was shown to you.

     

    Here is a circle function I often use when I have to draw a circle.

    You may use it to draw partial circles

    to draw regular polygons

    or to play around and create mandala like pics

    Nice, but why only circles parallel to the xy-plane?
