tried figuring this out but I keep getting confused. If someone can explain ? thank you
The first isn't too difficult
We have the form (x - h)^2 + (y - h)^2 = r^2
The center is ( x , h) and the radius = sqrt (r^2) = r
So....we have
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 80 writing this in a slightly different form we have
(x - 2)^2 + ( y - (-3) )^2 = 80
So.....the center is (2, -3) and the radius = sqrt (80) = sqrt (16 *5) = 4sqrt (5)
The second one requires a little thinking
If the center of the circle lies on the line y = 6x + 2 and the circle is tangent to the x axis at (-2, 0) then the the x coordinate of the center of the circle is at x = -2
So.....the y cordinate of the center must be y = 6(-2) + 2 = -10
So....the center is ( -2, -10)
And since this circle is tangent to the x axis......the radius must = 10
So.....the equation is (x + 2)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = 100

Was a bit confusing but I get how you got the answer, desmos helped my understand it more as well. Thanks
