Question

What is the equation of the circle pictured?

Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

(x+2)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 4^2

Explanation:

A circle is x^2 + y^2 = 1 , where r = 1

The radius of that circle looks to appear to be r = 4.

x^2 + y^2 = 4^2

Transition that circle origin from (0,0) to (-2,4)

The origin is (-2,4) which mean h = -2 left and k = 4 up.

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = 4^2

(x-(-2))^2 + (y-4)^2 =4^2
