Question

Please help me with this

Answer 1

Explanation:

Start with the distance squared.

The distance from the center to the point on the circle is found from

Formula

d^2 = r^2 = (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

Givens

x2 = 2

x1 = - 5

y2 = -8

y1 = - 8

Center= (-5,-8)

Solution

r^2 = (2 - - 5)^2 + (-8 - - 8)^2

r^2 = 49 + 0

r^2 = 49

equation

(x + 5)^2 + (y + 8)^ = 49
