Question

What is the center of the circle with the equation (x+4)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 16? a (-4, -2) b (4,2) c (-4, 2) d (4, -2)

Answer 1

Answer:

C) (-4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The center is ( -4,2) and the radius is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written as

( x-h) ^2 + ( y-k) ^2 = r^2 where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x+4)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 16

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

The center is ( -4,2) and the radius is 4
