Please help! Graph the circle with center at (3, -2), which also passes through the point (0, 2). Label the center and at least four points on the circle. Write the equation of the circle.

umm well have you ever used a program called geogebra because it might help because to tell you the truth I can help you on this sorry

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

you can draw the graph manually by plotting the points (3,-2) the center and the point (0,2)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

then using a compass place the point of the compass at the center and draw a circle through the other point.

this might help I graphed it and I put 4 points on the circle

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

the distance between the 2 points is the radius of the circle and the equation of the circle will be (x -a )^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 where (a , b) is the center (3, -2) and r is the radius you have measured

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

@lexie<3 - the center is (3 , -2) not (-3,-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh soorrrryyyyy

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

use the diatance formula to find \(r\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \begin{align} \color{black}{r=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(-2-2)^2} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\)

would that be it? @cwrw238
