Q. A circle in the xy-plane has its center at (−4,5) and the point (−8,8) lies on the circle. Which equation represents this circle?
Identify Center and Point: Identify the center (h, k) and a point on the circle to find the radius.Center: (−4, 5)Point on circle: (−8, 8)Calculate the radius using the distance formula: r=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2r=((−8)−(−4))2+(8−5)2r=(−4)2+32r=16+9r=25r=5
Calculate Radius: Substitute the values of h, k, and r into the standard form equation of a circle.Standard form: (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2Substitute h = −4, k = 5, and r = 5.(x−(−4))2+(y−5)2=52(x+4)2+(y−5)2=25
