Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
WE need to convert the given equations into the standard form
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 where r = the radius.
x^2 + y^2 + 12x - 20y+ 132 = 0
(x + 6)^2 - 36 + (y - 10)^2 - 100 = -132
(x + 6)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = -132 + 36 + 100 = 4
giving a radius of 2
x^2 + y^2 + 12x - 20y + 55 = 0
will give a right hand side of -55 + 36 + 100 = 81 giving radius 9.
x^2 + y^2 - 12x+ 20y + 127 = 0
- gives right hand side of -127 + 36 + 100 = 9 giving a radius of 3.
If you divide by 8, you can put the equation into intercept form. That form is ...
... x/a + y/b = 1
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively.
Here, your equation would be
... x/(-2) + y/(-4) = 0
The graph with those intercepts is not shown with your problem statement here. See the attachment for the graph.
