Question

The center of a circle is (0, -8). The radius is 9. What is the equation of the circle? Select all that apply.

A. x2 + (y + 8)2 = 3
B. x2 + (y + 8)2 = 9
C. x2 + (y + 8)2 = 81
D. x2 + y2 + 16y = 17
E. x2 + y2 + 16y = -55

Answer 1

x² + (y + 8)² = 81

Explanation:

Centre (h,k) = (0,-8)

radius (r) = 9

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(x - 0)² + (y + 8)² = 9²

x² + (y + 8)² = 81
