HELP PLEASE!!! Write the standard form of the equation for the circle that passes through the points (-9, -16), (-9, 32), and (22, 15). Then identify the center and radius. MULTIPLE CHOICE.
Use this: The equation of a circle : (x-a)2 + (y-b)2 = r2 (a,b) = center r = radius
a. (x-3)^2 + (y+9)^2 = 25 (-2, 8), 25 b. (x+2)^2 + (y-8)^2 =625 (-2, 8), 25 c. (x+2)^2 + (y-8)^2 = 625 (-3, 9), 5 d. (x-3)^2 + (y+9)^2 = 25 (-3, 9), 5
@Blank @navk
@Tom_Boy_Rebel how do you plug in the equation?
Plug in the points in the choices to check the answers. The equation which is satisfied by all the three given points is the right one.
Answer is: b. (x+2)^2 + (y-8)^2 =625 (-2, 8), 25
Ok I get it. Thank you @navk and @Blank
Or you can also find the equation from the points which is quite a long method. For that you need to use the general equation x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
Thank you :)

@Blank can you help me with one more?
I'll try but I'm really busy.
Write the standard form of the equation for the circle that passes through the points (30, -2), (-1, -19), and (-18, 12). Then identify the center and radius.
a. (x+6)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 625 (6, 5), 25 b. (x-6)^2 +(y-5)^2 = 625 (6, 5), 25 c. (x+5)^2 - (y+6)^2 = 650 (3, 5), 15 d. (x+5)^2 + (y+6)^2 = 625 (6, 2), 25
@Blank
Just a second...
b. (x-6)^2 +(y-5)^2 = 625 (6, 5), 25
Thank you so much! @Blank
