Answer:

x^{2}+y^{2} +4x-2y+1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The general form of the equation of a circle is

x^{2} +y^{2}+ Dx + Ey + F=0

where D, E, F are constants

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

Remember that the distance from the center to any point on the circle is equal to the radius

so

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

(-2,1)\\(-4,1)  

substitute the values

r=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(-4+2)^{2}}

r=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-2)^{2}}

r=2\ units

step 2

Find the equation of the circle in standard form

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

In this problem we have

center ( -2,1)

radius r=2 units

substitute

(x+2)^{2} +(y-1)^{2}=2^{2}

(x+2)^{2} +(y-1)^{2}=4

Step 3

Convert to general form

(x+2)^{2} +(y-1)^{2}=4\\ \\x^{2}+4x+4+y^{2}-2y+1=4\\ \\x^{2}+y^{2} +4x-2y+1=0

Circle A has center of (4, 5), and a radius of 3 and circle B has a center of (1, 7), and a radius of 9. What steps will help sh
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Dilate Circle A by a scale factor of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle A has a radius of 3, Circle B has a radius of 9. By dilating Circle a by a scale factor of 3, it will make it the same size as Circle B, showing that the two circles are similar.

Rotating and reflecting does nothing because both circles are in the same quadrant and rotating a circle does nothing to the placement.

Translating the circle (x+3, y-2) does not put it in the same place as circle B.
