15 POINTS

Write an equation in standard form for the given circle

A.) (x+3)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 16
B.) (x-3)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 16
C.) (x+3)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 16
D.) (x-3)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 16

Answer 1

Equation of a Circle: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

---Center = (h, k)

---Radius = r (this value will need to be squared in the final answer)

Center = (-3, -6)

---h = -3

---k = -6

Radius = 4

Equation: (x + 3)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 16

Correct Answer: A
