Ryan’s teacher asked him to graph circle E with equation (x – 5)2 + (y – 1)2 = 25. Below is the graph he submitted. What, if anything, did Ryan do wrong when graphing this equation? He graphed a circle with center at (-5, -1) instead of at (25, 1). He graphed a circle with center at (-5, -1) instead of at (5, 1). Ryan’s graph is accurate. He graphed a circle with a radius of 5 instead of a radius of 25.

hint: the general equation of a circle is (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 where (a, b) is the centre and r = 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=25,y=1,r=625?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean r=5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer his graph is accurate?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

no r radius is 5 as you said but the centre (a,b ) is (x coordinate, y coordinate) = (5 , 1) 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

ignore that 0 at the end....

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
