The center of a circle is at (−3, 1) and its radius is 9.

What is the equation of the circle?


(x+3)2+(y−1)2=18

(x−3)2+(y+1)2=18

(x−3)2+(y+1)2=81

(x+3)2+(y−1)2=81

Respuesta :

Your answer is (x+3)²+(y−1)²=81

The standard form of the circle equation is in the form [tex] (x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2} [/tex] with the center being at the point [tex] (h,k) [/tex] and the radius being "r".

We have to find the equation of circle with center (-3,1) and radius as 9.

So, h= -3, k=1 and r=9

Equation of circle is:

[tex] (x-(-3))^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=(9)^{2} [/tex]

[tex] (x+3)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=81 [/tex] is the required equation of the circle.

Therefore, Option 4 is the correct answer.
