Question

11. What is the center and radius of the circle with equation (X - 5)2 + (y + 3)2 = 16?

-
center (5, -3); radius = 16
center (5, -3); radius = 4
center (-5, 3); radius = 16

Answer 1

B). center (5, -3); radius = 4

Explanation:

The equation of a circle is (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2, and the center is the opposite inside the parenthesis, so its +5 and -3. And radius is r^2 = 16 or r = 4
