-
A.
(x - 4)² + (y - 3)² = 9
-
B.
(x - 4)² + (y + 3)² = 9

Q. If the center of a circle is at (0, 0) and it passes through the point (3, 4), what is the equation of the circle?
-
A.
x² + y² = 25
-
B.
x² + y² = 12
-
C.
x² + y² = 7
-
D.
x² + y² = 16
Solution
The radius is 5 (distance from (0,0) to (3,4)), so the equation is x² + y² = 5² = 25.
Correct Answer: A — x² + y² = 25
