Question

The equation x 2 + y 2 − 4 x + 2 y = b x 2 +y 2 −4x+2y=b describes a circle. determine the y coordinate of the center of a circle

Answer 1

Here’s a graph. Hope this helps.

Explanation:

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

x²+y²-4x+2y=b

x²-4x+4+y²+2y+1=b+4+1

(x-2)²+(y+1)²=b+5

center is (2,-1)
