a circle with a radius of 5 units and center at P(6, 1)?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

What are you supposed to do? Write the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which point lies on a circle with a radius of 5 units and center at P(6, 1)? Q(1, 11) R(2, 4) S(4, -4) T(9, -2)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

check the distance between a point and the center

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

pick the one that equals 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could do the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How Do You Do That ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another way to do it is to write the equation and test the value of x and y for eachone

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

the distance between \((x_0,y_0\) and \((x_1,y_1)\) is given by \(D=\sqrt{(x_0-x_1)^2+(y_0-y_1)^2}\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

thats the same thing @Venny

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

notice if we square both sides we have an equation of a circle:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that way seems easier to me

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

they are the exact same way:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tomitrahicks did you get r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
