which of the following graphs matches the circle defined by this equation (x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=9

\(\large\color{black}{ (x-k)^2+(y-h)^2=r^2 }\) is the standard equation of a circle, where \(\large\color{black}{ \bullet }\) \(\large\color{black}{ (h,k) }\) is the center \(\large\color{black}{ \bullet }\) \(\large\color{black}{ r }\) is the radius

okay, can you tell me the center of the circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the center of the circle x2+y2=1 is (0, 0). The center of the circle (x+2)2+(y-4)2=1 is mved up on 4 units (because of minus sign) and moved 2 units left (because of plus sign).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the center of the circle is (-2, 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

good job.
