Question

Graph the equation. (x + 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 16

Answer 1

okay well first you should put it in slope-intercept form aka y = mx + b

but you have simplify everything first

2(x + 3) + 2(y + 2) = 16

2x + 3 + 2y + 4 = 16

2x + 2y + 7 = 16

              -7    -7  

2x + 2y = 9

-2x          -2x

2y = -2x + 9

/2         /2

y = -x + 4.5

so now in a graph it should look like this:
