Question

Find the coordinates of the center of the following circle.

(x - 3)² + (y - 7)² = 49

Answer 1

(3,7)

Answer 2

The general equation of a circle is :
\[(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\]
Where (a,b) us the coordinates of the center and r is the radius

Answer 3

thank you !!(:

Answer 4

so the center points are (a,b)

Answer 5

why wouldnt it be (-3,-7)

Answer 6

@Shianne95 Look at what I have written above :
\[(x−a)^2+(y−b)^2=r^2\]
So the center is (a,b) not (-a,-b)

Answer 7

okay thanks
