Lesson 10.9: Equation of a Circle

Question 5 • *CR CCSS Math 2 S2 [M2960OX]

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–4, 9) and a diameter of 10 units?

Answer
A
(x – 9)2 + (y + 4)2 = 25
B
(x + 4)2 + (y – 9)2 = 25
C
(x – 9)2 + (y + 4)2 = 100
D
(x + 4)2 + (y – 9)2 = 100

Explanation

A circle with center (h, k) has equation (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r². The diameter is 10, so the radius is 5 and r² = 25; substituting the center (−4, 9) gives (x + 4)² + (y − 9)² = 25, which is choice B.
