write an equation of the circle with the given center and radius center: (-7,-6) and radius 2

Question

hartnn · Answer

Equation of circle with center (h,k) and radius 'r' is 
$\Large (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2$

hartnn · Answer

here,
h,k = -7,-6
r=2
just plug in!

anonymous · Answer

Okay so it'll be like this:
(x-(-7)^+(y-(6)^=2^

anonymous · Answer

Is this right?

hartnn · Answer

yes

whats $\Large x-(-7) = ...?$

anonymous · Answer

'x' minus -7.

hartnn · Answer

two negatives become a positive!

anonymous · Answer

with the two negatives means the '7 turns into positive 7 right?

hartnn · Answer

yess
$x-(-7) = x+7$

$y- (-6) = ...?$

anonymous · Answer

y+6 right?

So it would be 

(x+7)^ + (y+6)^=2  right?

hartnn · Answer

you forgot to square the radius ? 
$(x+7)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 2^2 \(x+7)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 4 $

anonymous · Answer

Okay so now I don't know what to do! What should I do next>

hartnn · Answer

thats the equation of your circle!
thats it!

anonymous · Answer

OOOOOOOOOH! Okay then! Thanks so much for the help again! You're a real life saver! I totally appreciate it!

hartnn · Answer

you're most welcome ^_^
