Question

The equation of a circle is shown below.

(x + 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 4

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

1. Obtain the center (-2, -1) and radius 2.
2. Write the equation in the form (x - (-2))2 + (y – (-1)2) = 22.
3. Draw a circle through the plot points (0, -1), (-4, -1), (-2, 1), and (-2, -3).
4. Mark the point (-2, -1) on the coordinate axis.
5. Calculate and plot the points around the center using given radius 2.

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

Answer 1

is that you mom?

Answer 2

can you please just help/

Answer 3

haha ur funny dpalnc :D

Answer 4

can u guys please help?

Answer 5

since this is multiple choice, those steps are pretty evident which order you should take...

Answer 6

whenever you try to draw a circle, what do you need?

Answer 7

you need to know how big it is(radius) and where to draw it(center)...

Answer 8

but how are you gonna determine that? through the equation they give... so i think u should do step 2 first... and since that's the only choice with step 2 being first that is the correct answer.

Answer 9

thanks so much for explaining=)
