Question

Solve the following problem and show the work. (x - 6)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 40

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 6)² + (y + 1)² = 40 ← is the equation of a circle in standard form

centre = (6, - 1) and r =
`√(40)` = 2
`√(10)`
