Question

A circle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2).

Answer 1

Answer:

(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=100

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the given points

Center = (5, -4)

and

Point on circle = (-3,2)

The distance between point on circle and center will give us the radius of circle

So,

The formula for distance is:

$\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\Taking\ center\ as\ point\ 1\ and\ the\ other\ point\ as\ point\ 2\\d=\sqrt{(-3-5)^{2}+(2-(-4))^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2+4)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}\\\\d=\sqrt{64+36}\\d=\sqrt{100} \\ d=10\\So\ the\ radius\ is\ 10$

The standard form of equation of circle is:

$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$

where h and k are the coordinates of the center. So putting in the value:

$(x-5)^{2}+(y-(-4))^{2}=(10)^{2}\\(x-5)^{2}+(y+4)^{2}=100$
