Can someone explain how to do this?

lexxii:

@Shadow

lexxii:

I'm thinking its A or D but I'm not sure

Hero:

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

lexxii:

Oh okay

lexxii:

Sorry my laptop is majorly lagging rn. So as you said (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2 how do you find x and y? Thats really what I need help with.

Hero:

@lexxii, there are two things you need to do for this: 1. Find the coordinates of the center point of the circle. 2. Find the length of the radius.

lexxii:

The center points are (-4,2) I got that part

lexxii:

And the radius is 4 correct?

Hero:

(-4,2) is the center of which point Q or P? I don't see (-4,2) as the center point for either of them.

lexxii:

For P

lexxii:

I think I got it, it is D correct? @Hero

bm717:

lexxii:

Okay thank you :)
