Answer 17

@XhawaiiangirlX @mathstudent55 @DuranK @

Answer 18

firsst you have to find (h,k)

Answer 19

Okay. So the radius is 2.

Answer 20

would that be the center? sorry, i have no clue ;/

Answer 21

What is the center? @ohmybookness

Answer 22

hey jinx what kind of puppy is that?

Answer 23

(-4,2) ?

Answer 24

I got this @AihberKhan

Answer 25

golden retriever maybe

Answer 26

(h,k) = (3,-1)

Answer 27

Okay so the radius is 2, which is \(r\) and the center is \(-4, 2\), which is \(h, k\).

Answer 28

That is wrong @RhondaSommer

Answer 29

sorry thinking of a different circle lol

Answer 30

Now plug in that information to \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\)

Answer 31

So h is \(-4\), k is \(2\) and r is \(2\).

So when plugging this all in, your final answer is \((x - (-4))^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 2^2\)

Answer 32

so A would be 2^2?
@AihberKhan

Answer 33

It's asking what the value of A is...

Answer 34

does this question have any options @ohmybookness

Answer 35

nope

Answer 36

No the center is \((a, b)\), so \(a\) would be \(-4\)

Answer 37

Basically \(a\) is the same thing as \(h\). In my problem \(h\) was \(-4\) so that means that \(a\) is also \(-4\)

Answer 38

Darn!! It was actually 8

Answer 39

How, what the heck? Did it give an explanation?

@ohmybookness

Answer 40

did you get an f or something?
