Answer:

C

Explanation:

The circle equation (x-a)²+(y-b)²=r² has a radius of r and a center of (a,b).

You can expand your equation from (x-5)²+y²=9 to (x-5)²+(y-0)²=3².

Using this information, you can see that a=5, b=0, and r=3.

Therefore the center is (5,0) and the radius is 3.

**This question involves circle equations, which you may want to revise. I'm always happy to help!

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Because the equation can be written in the form (x-p)^2+(y-q)^2. So it represents a circle with the radius r=3 and the center of (5,0).
