The circles in option B and D has their centers in the second quadrant

Here, we want to know which of the circles have their centers in the second quadrant

Generally, the equation of a circle can be represented as;


(x-h)^2\text{ + (y-}k)^2=r^2

where (h,k) represents the center of the circle

Now, let us get the center of each of the circles;

A. (4,-3)

b. (-1,7)

C.(5,6)

D. (-2,5)

The second quadrant has its coordinates in the form (-x,y)

Out of all the options, the option that fits these quadrant is the second and fourth

So the circles in option B and D has its center in the second
