Acircle is centered at the point (5, -4) and passes through the point (-3, 2). the equation of this circle is (x + )2 + (y + )2 = . reset

Explanation:

We have been given the center of the circle as (5, -4) and a point on the circumference as (-3, 2). We first determine the radius of the circle. The radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circumference. Using the distance formula, we have;

The radius of the circle is thus 10 units.

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r units is given as;

Plugging in the values given we have;
