Question

Find the coordinates for the center for this circle.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. (-3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is

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

You have

(x + 3)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 25

which can be rewritten as

(x - (-3))^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 5^2

from which you see that the center of the radius is the point (-3, 5), and the radius is 5.

Answer: C. (-3, 5)
