no geometry ~

anonymous · Answer

Oh, sorry, but I haven't learned that far yet... just a lil' freshman :(

anonymous · Answer

well it might be using algebra but its for geometry class~ I have no idea how to find the center

anonymous · Answer

The co-ordinates of the circle is given by (-3,5) with radius 5

anonymous · Answer

someone told me its in the equation already before but i dont understand that.

anonymous · Answer

Think of this question as if:
(x+3)^2 = 0 
  x + 3 = 0 
        x = -3 

Think of it this way

anonymous · Answer

ok so the number is negative if it has a + ? in the equation ?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah essentially, do the opposite sign

anonymous · Answer

ohh ok now I get it ~
