Question

Find the center and radius of the circle x2+(y+8)2=4

Answer 1

Answer: Center (0, -8) and Radius = 2

The standard equation of a circle is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

You can write the equation as (x-0)² + (y-( -8))² = 2². From this, you can conclude that the center is (0,-8) and the radius is 2.
