D: x – h; G: y – k

Question 7

A circle centered at the origin contains the point (0, –9). Does (8, ) also lie on the circle? Explain.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

C: Yes, the distance from the origin to the point (8, ) is 9 units.

Question 8

Consider a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 + 4x – 6y – 36 = 0. Which statements are true? Check all that apply.To begin converting the equation to standard form, subtract 36 from both sides.To complete the square for the x terms, add 4 to both sides.The center of the circle is at (–2, 3).The center of the circle is at (4, –6).The radius of the circle is 6 units.The radius of the circle is 49 units.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

B: To complete the square for the x terms, add 4 to both sides.; C: The center of the circle is at (–2, 3).
