Q:

Give the center, radius, and equation of the circle in the graph.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: [tex](x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=4[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:A circle's equation consist on the following expression: [tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex], where r is the magnitude of the radio, and (a,b) are the coordenates of the center of the circle.In this case, a=2 and b= - 3, because the circle is centered in (x,y)=(2, - 3).The radio, which is the distance between the center of the radio to any point in its border, equals r=2 (because of the scale of the graphic, in this case two squares of the grid equal 2 units, then r=2).Finally, using the previous information to replace in the equation [tex](x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=4[/tex], where the fact that r=2 and [tex]2^2=4[/tex] was used.
