Which equation represents a circle with a center at (-3, -5) and a radius of 6 units?
(x - 3)2 + (y - 5)2 = 6
(x - 3)2 + (y - 5)2 = 36
(x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 6
(x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 36
Solution:
We have standard form of the equation of circle whose centre at (h, k) and radius r as (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
For example, if the equation of the circle is (x + 6)2 + (y - 5)2 = 64, then centre is (h, k) = (-6, 5) and radius r = 8
Given: Center (h, k) = (-3, -5) and radius r = 6
Substituting in the standard form of the equation of circle, we have
⇒ [x - (-3)]2 + [y - (-5)]2 = 62
⇒ (x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 36
Therefore, the equation of circle is is (x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 36.
Which equation represents a circle with a center at (-3, -5) and a radius of 6 units?
Summary:
The equation that represents a circle with a center at (-3, -5) and a radius of 6 units is (x + 3)2 + (y + 5)2 = 36.
