Can someone help me answer these questions please and thank you
First determine what the coordinates of the center of the circle are. What are they?
Point K is the center; what are its coordinates? In the form (x, y)
(4,3)
@IMStuck
Yes ok. Good. Do you know the general equation for a circle? The formula for a circle?
A=pi *r^2
No, that's the area formula. The general equation for a circle is this:\[(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r ^{2}\]
h is the x coordinate for the center and k is the y coordinate for the center.
Does that look familiar to you?
Are you with me on this?
so i would put it as (x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = r^2
@IMStuck
so my internet was down
Ok, that's fine. I'm back. Let me check your equation so far. BRB
oki
Ok, here's the thing. First of all, your x coordinate for the center is 4 and the y is 3. You had them reversed in your equation. Also, you need to make the numbers fit into the formula of \[(x-h)^{2}\]and \[(y-k)^{2}\]In order to do that, take your x coordinate of 4 and plug it in in this way:
\[(x-(4))^{2}\]which is, of course, just \[(x-4)^{2}\]The same goes for the y, which is a -3 and needs to fit into the equation like this:
\[(y-(-3))^{2}\]which translates to \[(y+3)^{2}\]
I think originally you had the coordinates for the center as (4,3) and they are actually (4,-3).
oh so it would be (x-4)^2 + (y-(-3))^2 =r^2
So far it would be \[(x-4)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=r ^{2}\]
Now we have to worry about the r, which is the radius. Do you know how to find the radius from the image?
no i don't
sorry math isn't really my subject lol
Ok your circle has a center of K. If you count the units up from K to the point on the brown outline of the circle, how many units did you go up? How many squares?
5
Yes, and that is exactly half the diameter of the circle, which is another name for radius! Now we take that radius of 5 and square it. What is 5^2?
What is 5 times 5?
10
That is 5 times 2. What is 5 times 5? That is what it means when it wants "5 squared". 5 times 5.
we are at the last step here, don't get upset, ok? You're doing great!
oh my bad i misread it and its 25
Yes, so now we have completed the circle's equation, and it is:\[(x-4)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=25\]
thank you now can you help me find the questions on the side ?
