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

Answer 1

This is a circle

Answer 2

I think it's the last one!

Answer 3

Thats what I was thinking but was not quit sure

Answer 4

to draw a circle, in general

first- determine the center point
2nd- determine the radius
3rd- plot the center point
4th- plot four points using the radius, up down left right
5th- connect the radius dots with a curve
6th- something
8th- yay circle

Answer 5

so according to @completeidiot I think we are right @RICARDOismyfirstname

Answer 6

Awesome! thank you

Answer 7

3 should be the first step

Answer 8

in order to determine the center point and radius, you would first need to convert into that form

you wouldnt start with 4 first because you cant assume where the center point is
and 2 would definitely come before 4

Answer 9

trueeeeee!!!! @RICARDOismyfirstname listen to @completeidiot

Answer 10

Not being mean or anything. And I am going to listen to a @completeidiot

Answer 11

and thus without looking at the multiple choice answers,

the order should be?

Answer 12

Would it be 32451

Answer 13

that would be my answer

Answer 14

Awesome! thank you so much
