Find the equation of the circle centered at (1,-4) with radius 3.

Write your equation in the form "(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2".

The equation of the circle is (x - 1)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 3.

This is an extremely easy question.

The centre is (h,k) and the radius is r.

Do the substitution yourself.

So what?

You want people here to do your homework for you instead of you looking at your notes?

 

 

You still haven't bothered to tell us what the answer is.

Easy peezy  :  when   given  the  center  and  the  radius

 

Change  the  signs  on the  center  coordinates  and  square  the  radiius

 

This  leads  to

 

(x  - 1)^2   +  (  y + 4)^2    =  9

 

 

cool cool cool
