Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 2x - 3 + y² = 5
Strategy:
Convert the equation to the centre-radius form:
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
The centre of the circle is at (h, k) and the radius is r .
Solution:
Move the number to the right-hand side.
x² + 2x + y² = 8
Complete the square for x
(Take half the coefficient of x, square it, and add to each side of the equation)
(x² + 2x + 1) + y² = 9
Complete the square for y
The coefficient of y is zero.
(x² + 2x + 1) + y² = 9
Express the result as the sum of squares
(x + 1)² + y² = 3²
h = -1; k = 0; r = 3
The centre of the circle is at
The graph of the circle below has its centre at (-1,0) and radius 3.
