Question

The equation of a circle is shown below.

(x + 5)2 + (y + 6)2 = 16

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

1. Draw a circle through the plot points (-1, -6), (-9, -6), (-5, -2), and (-5, -10).
2. Obtain the center (-5, -6) and radius 4.
3. Write the equation in the form (x - (-5))2 + (y – (-6)2) = 42.
4. Mark the point (-5, -6) on the coordinate axis.
5. Calculate and plot the points around the center using given radius 4.

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

2, 1, 3, 5, 4

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

3, 2, 4, 5, 1

4, 2, 5, 1, 3
