Question

Use the information provided to write the standard form equation of each circle
x^2 + y^2-20x+26y+260=0

Answer 1

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^6 = r^2
Now rearrange your equation

Answer 2

how did you get (y-k)^6?

Answer 3

sorry it is square typo

Answer 4

It's fine I was confused. So for this problem the answer would be (x-10)^2 + (y+13)^2=....
I don't know how to get the last r^2 part

Answer 5

Yes this is correct now see you need to add and subtract 100 to get (x-10)^2 similarly need to add and subtract 169. so finally we will have 260-169-100

Answer 6

Okay thanks! So the last r^2=-9?

Answer 7

no r^2 =9 because you take it to the right side
(x-10)^2 + (y+13)^2 = 9

Answer 8

Oh!!! Thanks sooo much!

Answer 9

np :)
