In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

circle

center (2,-2)

diameter = 8

point on the circle = ?

Step 02:

equation of a circle

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

r = d / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4

(x - 2)² + ( y - (-2))² = 4²

(x - 2)² + ( y + 2)² = 16

Step 03:

We must verify the points with the equation.

A. If (0 , 1)

(x - 2)² + ( y + 2)² = 16

( 0 - 2)² + ( 1 + 2)² = 16

4 + 9 = 16

15 < 16 the point is inside of the circle

B. If ( 6, -2)

(x - 2)² + ( y + 2)² = 16

(6 - 2)² + ( -2 + 2)² = 16

16 = 16 the point is on the circle

The answer is:

B. (6 , -2)
