Question

Identify the equation of the circle D with center D(−8,−1) and radius 3.

Answer 1

(x + 8)² + (y + 1)² = 9

Explanation:

Equation of a circle

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

(x - -8)² + (y - -1)² = 3²

(x + 8)² + (y + 1)² = 9

Answer 2

(h+8)^2 + ( y +1)^2 = 9

Explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written as

(x-h) ^2 +(y-k) ^2 = r^2

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(h- -8)^2 + ( y - -1)^2 = 3^2

(h+8)^2 + ( y +1)^2 = 3^2

(h+8)^2 + ( y +1)^2 = 9
