What is the equation of the circle with center at (-3, 0) and diameter 20?
@Kainui
So I gave you the stuff to find out last time when I told you the equation of a circle. Show me your best guess brony.
this is different! whats the difference between h and k, and x and y? how do i figure this out? at least give me the equation.
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 Is the equation.
if (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius, then you should be able to plug in the information you have to figure it out, give it a try.
no, the equation with the numbers inserted. cuz i dont know if the coordinates are for x an y, or h and k?
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 Is the equation. (h,k) is the coordinates of the center of the circle. r is the radius You are given: circle with center at (-3, 0) and diameter 20 This is all the information you need to look at, see if you can at least make a guess and try, it doesn't matter if you mess up, I'm here to help.
(x--3)^2+(y-0)^2=r^2
(x + 3)2 + (y - 0)2 = 400
Diameter is 29therefore radius is 20/2=10
Almost, remember they give you the diameter, but the equation has radius! Other than that, it looks fine. I'm not sure, but it looks like you dropped your exponents too.
20* sorry about that
