Q-00052173

If a circle has a center at (3, -2) and a radius of 5, what is the equation of the circle?

1

(x - 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25

2

(x + 3)² + (y - 2)² = 25

3

(x - 3)² + (y + 2) = 5

4

(x + 3) + (y - 2) = 25

Answer and Solution

Answer

A. (x - 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25

Solution:

Using (h, k) = (3, -2) and r = 5, the equation becomes (x - 3)² + (y + 2)² = 5², leading to (x - 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25.
