Question

PLEASE HELP ME!?!?! The equation of a standard pitcher’s mound in baseball is (x+5)^2 + (y+7)^2=81 The center the pitcher’s mound is ( , ).

Answer 1

The equation (x+5)^2 + (y+7)^2=81 is a variation of a circles standard formula (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

The center of the circle is found by (h, k)

In this case:

h = -5

k = -7

Therefore the center is:

(-5, -7)

Hope this helped!
