anonymous · Answer

(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 42.25?

apoorvk · Answer

a circle with a centre (h,K) and radius "r" has an equation:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

you are right!

Write the equation of a circle with a center at (-3, -8) and a radius of 1/3

the answer is (x + 3)^2 + (y + 8)^2 = 1/3 ?

apoorvk · Answer

no the constant on RHS will be 1/9... coz you square 1/3.. rest is right

I have one last question that can you check ?
