Which of the following is the equation of a circle with a radius of 2.5 and its center at (-4, 3)?
Question options:
Question Options
A) (X - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 2.5
B) (X + 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 2.5
C) (X - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 6.25
D) (X + 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 6.25
Remember the equation for a circle with center (h,k) and radius r is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
so given the info in the question, this equals:
(x-(-4))^2 + (y-3)^2 = 2.5^2
(x+4)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 6.25
