Question

Conic section Help - What is the value of b for the following circle in general form? General Form is x^2+y^2+ax+by+c=0

Answer 1

sooo im not sure what to do ... right now im figuring the point and r

Answer 2

sooooo r=3 and point=(1,-2)

Answer 3

you're correct... so just plug that in :)

Answer 4

ohh really thats it ! just a plug in equation wow @jdoe0001 thankss i though it was going to be like my other conic problems hahaha

Answer 5

~~~ confetti ~~~ @meln_n ~~~ confetti ~~~

Answer 6

hehehehehe n_n

Answer 7

heehh no in this case :)

\(\bf (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\qquad r=3\qquad center\ (h,k)\to (1,-2)
\\ \quad \\
(x-{\color{brown}{ 1}})^2+(y-({\color{brown}{ -2}}))^2={\color{brown}{ 3}}^2\)

once you expand it, then you'd see what the non-squared "y" coefficient is :)
