Question

Which equation represents a circle with the same center as the circle shown but with a radius of 2 units?

Answer 1

Option 2: (x-4)^2 + (x-5)^2 = 4

Explanation:

The given circle's center is: (4,5)

And the radius is 4 units.

We are told in the question that the center will remain same only the radius will be changed.

The center is denoted by (h,k) = (4,5) and radius is 2

Standard equation of circle is:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

So the equation of another circle with same center and radius of 2 units will be:

(x-4)^2 + (x-5)^2 = 2^2

(x-4)^2 + (x-5)^2 = 4

Hence option 2 is correct ..
