Question

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (–5, –3) and has a center at (–2, 1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

for us lazy folks.

Answer 2

Answer:

(x + 2)² + (y - 1)² = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

radius: r² = (1 - (-3))² + (-2 - (-5))² = 16 + 9 = 25

r = 5

Circle: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

center: (-2 , 1)      h = -2       k = 1

(x + 2)² + (y - 1)² = 25
