Question

PLEASE HELP
Using the following equation, find the center and radius:
x2 -2x + y2 - 6y = 26 (5 points)
The center is located at (-1, -3), and the radius is 36.
The center is located at (1, 3), and the radius is 36.
The center is located at (-1, - 3), and the radius is 6.
The center is located at (1, 3), and the radius is 6.

(I think it's the third one but i'm not sure)

Answer 2

yeah. the final equation that I got was (x-1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 6^2

Answer 3

the answer ended up being the last one.

Answer 4

it was a multiple choice question.

Answer 5

nope it was 26. in our geometry class they taught us that when we complete the quadratics, when we add the ending to the quadratics ( so like in this case the 1 and 9) we also add them to the ending number, in this case 26 to make it 36. ((idk if this makes any sense to you with the way that I worded it))
