Question

How would one graph (X-3) squared plus (Y+2) squared = 9 ?

Answer 1

It's a circle of radius 3 centered on (3,-2). That's what the form is all about - making this an eyeball problem.

Answer 2

How would you form the circle using that point?

Answer 3

However you would like. Go find some round kitchen implements that are the right size. Compass? Freehand? Give it a go!

Answer 4

Since the radius is 3 we can go North south, east and west to form points on the circle correct?

Answer 5

You can freehand plot at least four points.

From the center, (3,-2), and the radius, 3, you have these:

(6,-2)
(0,-2)
(3,1)
(3,-5)

Answer 6

thank you very much! that really helped.

Answer 7

Awesome. Good work.
