What the equation of a circle that has a center (-11, -8 ) and radius of 4

x² + y² + 22x + 16y + 169 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle with center (a,b) , and radius r i.e center is  not the origin

The equation becomes

( x - a )² + ( y - b )² = r² 1

a = -11, b = -8

[( x - (-11 )]²  +  [( y - (-8)]² = 4²

      ( x + 11 )² + ( y + 8 )² = 4²

Carry out expansion

x² + 22x + 121 +  y² + 16y + 64 = 16

Rearrange the expression,

x² + y² + 22x + 16y + 121 + 64 - 16 = 0

x² + y² + 22x + 16y + 169 = 0

The equation of the circle is

x² + y² + 22x + 16y + 169 = 0

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
