What is the equation of the circle with center (3, -2) and radius 5?
  1. (x-3)² + (y+2)² = 25
  2. (x+3)² + (y-2)² = 25
  3. (x-3)² + (y-2)² = 25
  4. (x+3)² + (y+2)² = 25

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the equation of the circle with center (3, -2) and radius 5?
  • Step 1: Identify the center of the circle. The center is given as (3, -2). Here, h = 3 and k = -2.
  • Step 2: Identify the radius of the circle. The radius is given as 5.
  • Step 3: Write the general equation of a circle, which is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r².
  • Step 4: Substitute the values of h, k, and r into the equation. This gives us (x - 3)² + (y - (-2))² = 5².
  • Step 5: Simplify the equation. Since y - (-2) is the same as y + 2, we have (x - 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25.
