(x + 1.5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 9. What is the graph that shows the position and radius of the wheels? (see attached graphs)

Answer 1

identify the "center of circle" first

Answer 2

from the given equation

Answer 3

(-1.5,-1)

Answer 4

yes, look at the graph now.
oly one graph has that center

Answer 5

and thats ur answer

Answer 6

the graph i labeled a im assuming

Answer 7

are you saying graph A is the right answer ?

Answer 8

that graph looks like it has a center (-1.5,-1)

Answer 9

so yes

Answer 10

thats right ! good job !!
