If you are given the equation for a circle as (x+9)2+(y+7)2=289 what is the center and radius?

Answer 1

The general equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center of the circle and "r" is the radius of the circle. Since this equation can be written as (x - -9)² + (y - -7)² = 17², the center is at (-9, -7) and the radius is 17.

Answer 2

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

center: (h, k)

radius: r
