@dopegyal_ What are the coordinates of the center of the circle? Read them from the graph and post what you get, okay?

Directrix (directrix):

Start from the origin (0,0). See markings on attached diagram. @dopegyal_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5 , -0.5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, what number is between 2 & 1 ?

Directrix (directrix):

The -.5 for the y coordinate is correct. But, check the x-coordinate. It is the average of 1 and 2.

Directrix (directrix):

(1 + 2)/2 @dopegyal_

1.5 .

Directrix (directrix):

Center ( 1.5 , - .5)

I was looking at how to find the radius and lost track of the question. Look at the question, look at the center you got, and then decide on True or False.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false?

Directrix (directrix):

The center of this circle: (x – 0.5)^ 2 + (y – 0.5)^2 = 4 can be found from the standard form for a circle. (x - h) ^2 + ( y - k) ^2 = r ^2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

Directrix (directrix):

(x – 0.5)^ 2 + (y – 0.5)^2 = 4 (x - h) ^2 + y - k) ^2 = r ^2 --> standard form for a circle. ^^^ What is the center of the circle given in the question.

So, it's true!(: Thankyou
