Question

Is anybody good with conic sections? I'm kinda lost and need some help...

Answer 1

Just ask your question.

Answer 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer 3

write an equation for the translation of x^2+y^2=49 by 3 units left and 4 units up.

Answer 4

@iGreen @greenlegodude57

Answer 5

I've narrowed it down to 2 options..

Answer 6

What are your options?

Answer 7

well all of them are
(x+3)^2+(y+4)^2=49
(x+3)^2+(y-4)^2=49
(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=49
(x-3)^2+(y+4)^2=49

Answer 8

I'm pretty sure it's either the first one or the second one.

Answer 9

Adding to 'x' will shift the graph to the left.

Subtracting to 'x' will shift the graph to the right.

Adding to 'y' will shift the graph down.

Subtracting to 'y' will shift the graph up.

Answer 10

So which one do you think is correct?

Answer 11

the second one?

Answer 12
