try to simplify the above equation to the form x^2+y^2=r^2 r is the radius of the circle then put those given points in the equation and see which one satisfies .that is the required centre.
Ok cool. Thanks! Ill let you know what i find.
oops little mistake
the equation is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 (h,K) is the centre..the above equation i have written is for circle with origin as centre
So if i were to plug in A: center (–1, 1); radius 4 it would look like (-1 - (-1))^2 + (1 - 1)^2 = 4^2?
no..It is (-1-1)^2+rest is right..
then if right hand side is equal to left hand side , that is the answer otherwise do the same for another one
But x and h are the same (-1) so if the equation is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 wouldnt it be (-1 - (-1))^2?
im sorry again..here (x,y) are the points on the circumference of the circle.It is very easy.just compare the given equation to (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2..(h,K) is the centre and r is the radius
you Got the answer??
Not yet. Im still trying to figure it out...
