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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok cool. Thanks! Ill let you know what i find.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops little mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..It is (-1-1)^2+rest is right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then if right hand side is equal to left hand side , that is the answer otherwise do the same for another one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you Got the answer??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not yet. Im still trying to figure it out...
