Look at the image. What's the center of the circle? What's the radius? Remember the standard form equation for a circle is \( (x-\color{red}{h})^2 + (y-\color{blue}{k})^2 = \color{salmon}{r}^2\) where \((\color{red}{h},\color{blue}{k})\) is the center and \(\color{salmon}{r}\) is the radius

Mathplayer223:

(-3,-1) is the center?

Mathplayer223:

im not sure what the radius is

AZ:

yes, that is the center!

AZ:

just count the number of blocks from the center to the edge of the circle

Mathplayer223:

3 blocks?

AZ:

so the radius is 3 and now all you have to do is plug in those numbers into the equation

Mathplayer223:

AZ:

careful there remember that the center is (negative 3, negative 1) so x - (-3) becomes x+3 similarly, y - (-1) would become what?

Mathplayer223:

+1

Mathplayer223:

AZ:

exactly, it would become y+1 and you got it!
