equation of circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation of a circle is X^2+y^2 =r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have (-10,6) so a=-10 and = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because radius squared is 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-(-10)^2 +(y-(6))^2=8^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 - b right? and -10 = a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+10)^2(y-6)^2=64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes a =-10 but if you put it in the equation which is (x-a)^2 then (x-(-10))^2 would (x+10)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the same for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the answer will be....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm rereading through what you're telling me so I understand. Thanks for your help on this :)
