Please show your work.

anonymous · Answer

Looks like a circle.

timaashorty · Answer

$$(x+8)^{2} + (y-1)^{2} = 9$$

timaashorty · Answer

I know it's a circle and how it looks graphed. I just need to know before I graph it, do I need to do any work.

shamil98 · Answer

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
r = 3 radius of circle
(h,k) = the center of the circle.

timaashorty · Answer

(8, 1) is the center?

shamil98 · Answer

no, (-8,1) is.

timaashorty · Answer

Oops I see. can you show me how you got the radius

shamil98 · Answer

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
(x-(-8)^2 + (y-(+1)^2 = 3^2

shamil98 · Answer

you have 9,
r^2 = 9
r = 3

timaashorty · Answer

Oh Okay |dw:1392956172920:dw|

just to make sure, This is how it will be graphed right?

anonymous · Answer

That's a little sloppy, but it gets the point across. If you label some points with their coordinates it would be more convincing.

shamil98 · Answer

Yes, but the radius is 3 so remember the distance between the circle's points are 3.

timaashorty · Answer

yeah i know, it's just im in a rush right now, but it's similar?

Thanks for the help guys
