Question

The equation of a circle is (x + 3)2 + (y + 7)2 = 25. Where is (3, 4) located in relation to the circle?

On the circle

In the interior of the circle

In the exterior of the circle

at the center of the circle

Answer 1

Midpoint of the circle is (-3, -7)

Distance from (3, 4) to (-3, -7) is > 5 because the x and y difference are alone greater 5.

So, "In the exterior of the circle" is correct.
