Question

Write the equation of a circle given the center (-4, 4) and raduis r = 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ where $(h,k)$ is the center and $r$ is the radius. If $(h,k)\rightarrow(-4,4)$ and $r=5$, then:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\(x-(-4))^2+(y-4)^2=5^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25$

Therefore, the equation of the circle is $(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25$
