Question

The equation of a circle is shown below.

(x + 2)2 + (y + 3)2 = 25

Jade uses the following steps to sketch a graph of the circle.

1. Obtain the center (-2, -3) and radius 5.
2. Calculate and plot the points around the center using given radius 5.
3. Mark the point (-2, -3) on the coordinate axis.
4. Write the equation in the form (x - (-2))2 + (y – (-3)2) = 52.
5. Draw a circle through the plot points (3, -3), (-7, -3), (-2, 2), and (-2, -8).

What is the correct order of steps to sketch the circle?
