OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The equation of the circle with center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) is \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look at each choice and fit it into the equation of the circle above. What points do you get for the centers of the circles?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Yes I know that

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

I dont know what they mean by have their centers

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then once you know the centers, the ones with a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate are in quadrant 2.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Sorry, but gtg. I'll be back later.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Look at his post that gives the equation and center of the circle. Eg (x - 2)^2 + (y + 7)^2 = 16 has center (2, -7)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Work out the center of all the circles.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

OKay so A. (5,6) B. (-2,5) C. (-1,7) D. (4,-3)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yep. Now either plot the points, or just look at them to work out what quadrant.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Hey, but I don't understand what the question is asking by quadrant

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Mathstudent gave diagrams earlier

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

COuld you explain further, I'm not getting what to do what the points

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Plot them. See which quadrant they are in.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay B?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Just list them all on here, write quadrant 2 beside the ones that are. A. (5,6) B. (-2,5) C. (-1,7) D. (4,-3)

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

A. (5,6) B. (-2,5) 2ND C. (-1,7) 2ND D. (4,-3)

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yep
