Miracrown (miracrown):

With?

OpenStudy (mikurout):

@abbie What is ur problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this help? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ApstMKNEMI ?

OpenStudy (abbie):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well that is certainly less fun than a music video...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anywho, first you can find the radius by finding the distance between the two points. then choose the equation with the appropriate radius squared, and appropriate center

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the generic form for a circle being (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 where a and b are the x and y coordinates of your center point, and r is your radius

OpenStudy (mikurout):

Equation of circle is (x-h)^2 +(Y-k)^2 = r^2 . where h, k are center and r is the radius.

OpenStudy (mikurout):

Here r is the distance between the given two points.

OpenStudy (abbie):

the radius is 241

OpenStudy (abbie):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost right! in this case it would be the square root of 241. ergo 241 is the radius squared

OpenStudy (mikurout):

r^2 = 241

OpenStudy (abbie):

is the answer C?

OpenStudy (mikurout):

@abbie YES.

OpenStudy (abbie):

OpenStudy (abbie):

can you help me with a few more?

OpenStudy (mikurout):

First try to find out the coordinate of the center of the circle.

OpenStudy (abbie):

is it (3,-2) ?

OpenStudy (mikurout):

yes

OpenStudy (mikurout):

Here ur radius is 3. which is the x-coordinate of the center. R u getting it ?

OpenStudy (mikurout):

If u look into the figure , u can be sure that ,the line joining the center and the point (0,-2) , is the radius. it's length is 3 unit.

OpenStudy (abbie):

so is the answer A @mikurout

OpenStudy (mikurout):

no it is B.
