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?

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
