I can't understand quite what is your question, but if you are looking for equation of a circle it's:
x^2 + y^2 = 1
Solving for y will give you +- value, since y = x^2, y >= 0 for all x.
Somehow your data does not reflect that, but I can stake my life on the formula being correct.

Oh, that's probably because my X and Y start on the axis of the bottom of the circle, not the radius. As well as I used a very small circle, so the data will not be completely accurate.

Thanks for the answer.

Edit: Okay, so how do I exclude X? To get the equation where I just input X to solve for Y?
