Question

The equation below describes a circle. What are the coordinates of the center of the circle?(x - 6)2 + (y + 5)2 = 152A.(-6, 5)B.(6, 5)C.(-6, -5)D.(6, -5)

Answer 1

The center is at (6,-5) and the radius is 15

Explanation:

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x-h)^2 + (y-k) ^2 = r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x - 6)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 15^2

(x - 6)^2 + (y - -5)^2 = 15^2

The center is at (6,-5) and the radius is 15
