Question

Write the standard equation of a circle that passes through (1, −6) with center (7, −2).

Answer 1

Answer:

D: (x – 7)2 + (y + 2)2 = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle: (x -h)² + (y - k)² = r²    center (h , k)    r: radius

(1 , -6) on the circle: radius   √(1 - 7)² + (-6 - (-2))² = √36 + 16 = √52

(x -7)² + (y +2)² = (√52)² = 52
