Question

In the standard equation for a circle centered at any point, a change in the value of the number that is part of the x-term results in a vertical movement ? True or false?

Answer 1

It is false. The x is usually horizontal.

Answer 2

It is False as Changing value of x coordinate results in horizontal movement not in vertical moment.

Explanation:

Standard form of circle is given by,

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

where, ( h, k ) = Coordinates of circle and r is radius of circle.

here h is part of x- term.

So, if change value of h to p keeping k and r constant. The coordinate of center shifted in horizontal line whose equation is y = k.

Therefor, It is False as Changing value of x coordinate results in horizontal movement not in vertical moment.
