The point that could also be on the circle is (-6, 3)
Which point could also be on the circle?
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Center = (-2, 3)
Point = (2, 3)
The equation of a circle is represented as
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
Where
Center = (a, b)
Radius = r
So, we have
(x + 2)² + (y - 3)² = r²
Using the point (2, 3), we have
(2 + 2)² + (3 - 3)² = r²
16 = r²
So, we have
(x + 2)² + (y - 3)² = 16
From the list of options, we have
(-6, 3)
Testing this option, we have
(-6 + 2)² + (3 - 3)² = 16
Evaluate
16 = 16
This equation is true
Hence, the point that could also be on the circle is (-6, 3)
Question
