Question

The circle described by the equation (x+3)2 + (y-4)2 = -36 is translated 5 units to the left and 1 unit up?

Answer 1

The equation of the circle is
`(x+3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = -36`

so the center is (-3,4)

Now it is translated 5 units to the left and 1 unit up.

So we subtract 5 from -3

and add 1 to 4

So we get

(-3-5 , 4+1)

(-8,5)

First option is the correct one
