Question

Use the equation x2+9=6x−y2−6y−9x2+9=6x−y2−6y−9 to answer the questions. A: What is the equation in standard form? B: Does the given equation represent a circle, a point, or an empty set? Select one answer choice for question A, and select one answer choice for question B.

Answer 1

• (x -3)² +(y +3)² = 0
• a point: (3, -3)

Explanation:

A. Rearranging to standard form, you get ...

x^2 +9 = 6x −y^2 −6y −9

x^2 -6x +y^2 +6y = -18

(x^2 -6x +9) +(y^2 +6x +9) = -18 +9 +9

(x -3)^2 +(y +3)^2 = 0

__

B. This represents a circle centered at (3, -3) with radius zero: a point.
