Answer:

You find the centre, the vertices, and the endpoints of the function. Then you plot the graph.

Explanation:

(

x

1

)

2

+

(

y

4

)

2

=

9

This is the standard form for the equation of a circle with centre at (

1

,

4

) and radius

9

=

3

.

This means that, to find the vertices, you go 3 units up from the centre and 3 units down.

Thus, the vertices are at (

1

,

7

) and (

1

,

1

).

To find the endpoints, you go 3 units left of the centre and 3 to the right.

Thus, the endpoints are at (

2

,

4

) and (

4

,

4

).

Plot these points on a graph.

Now draw a smooth circle through these four points.

And you have your graph.
