Question

The circle below is centered at (4, q) and has a radius of 3. What is the equation.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k ) = (4, - 1 ) and r = 3 , then

(x - 4)² + (y - (- 1) )² = 3² , that is

(x - 4)² + (y + 1)² = 9 → C
