Please help!!! What is the standard form of the equation of the circle in the graph? A. (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1 B. (x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 2 C. (x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 1 D. (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 2

okay, so the standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(h,k) is the center of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which answer did you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't understand what numbers i'm plugging into the equation....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so you know that the formula for a circle will always equal 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are is the h and k of the center of your circle? h is your x coordinate and k is your y coordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so now plug those numbers into the equation (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=1, you don't have to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

thank you :)
