Question

A circle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2).

The equation of this circle is (x + __ )^2 + (y + __ )^2 = __ .

Answer 1

recall that the distance from the center of a circle to a point on the circle is the radius. Therefore, the distance between (5, -4) and (-3, 2) is "r".
