Answer:

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

given

x² + y² - 8x + 8y + 23 = 0

collect the x and y terms together and subtract 23 from both sides

x² - 8x + y² + 8y = - 23

using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x / y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 + y² + 2(4)y + 16 = - 23 + 16 + 16

(x - 4)² + (y + 4)² = 9 ← in standard form

with centre = (4, - 4 ) and r =
√(9) = 3

this is shown in graph b
