Question

Find the radius and center of the circle given by the equation below.

(x-6)2 + (y + 4)2 = 7
Ore 17 and center at (-4.6)
or= 7 and center at (6-4)
or=7 and center at (-6.4)
or= 7 and (
6-4)

Answer 1

center (6,-4)

radius = √7 unit

Explanation:

Mathematically, the equation of a circle can be written as follows;

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

Where (a,b) represents the center of the circle with r representing the radius of the circle.

Now looking at the values in the question, we can clearly see that a = 6, while b represents -4.

The radius of the circle is √7

So the circle center is (6,-4) while √7 is the circle center
