Explanation:

Question 10

Step1: Recall circle equation formula

The standard form of a circle's equation is \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\), where \((h,k)\) is the center and \(r\) is the radius.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option a: Center \((4,2)\), radius \(2\).
• Option b: Center \((1,1)\), radius \(\sqrt{2}\).
• Option c: Center \((8,3)\), radius \(\sqrt{2}\).
• Option d: Center \((1,2)\), radius \(2\).

Assuming the graph (not fully visible here but from standard G.GPE.1 problems) likely has center \((1,2)\) and radius \(2\), so option d matches.

Step1: Recall circle equation formula

Standard form: \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\), center \((h,k)\), radius \(r\).

Step2: Find center from graph

From the graph, the center of the circle is at \((-3, -4)\) (since it's 3 units left of origin on x - axis and 4 units down on y - axis).

Step3: Find radius

The circle seems to have a radius of 6? Wait, no, looking at the options, let's check the radius squared. The distance from center \((-3,-4)\) to a point on the circle (e.g., where it meets the y - axis) – let's calculate radius. If center is \((-3,-4)\), and let's see the options:

• Option a: \((x + 3)^2+(y + 4)^2 = 36\) means radius \(6\) (since \(r^2 = 36\), \(r = 6\)).
• Option b: Center \((-4,-5)\), radius \(\sqrt{5}\) – wrong center.
• Option c: Radius \(3\) ( \(r^2=9\)) – too small.
• Option d: Center \((-4,-1)\), wrong center.

So with center \((-3,-4)\) and \(r^2 = 36\), option a matches.

Step1: Recall circle center formula

From standard circle equation \((x - h)^2+(y - k)^2 = r^2\), center is \((h,k)\). For the circle in question 11, the equation (from correct option a) is \((x + 3)^2+(y + 4)^2 = 36\), which can be written as \((x-(-3))^2+(y - (-4))^2=36\). So center is \((-3,-4)\).

Step2: Match with options

Option a is \((-3,-4)\), which matches the center we found.

Answer:

d. \((x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4\)
