(09.04 LC)A circle is centered at (-3, 2) and has a radius of 2. Which of thefollowing is the equation for this circle? (6 points)O (x + 3)2 + (y - 2)2 = 2O (x - 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = = 4O (x + 3)2 + (y - 2)2 = 4O (x - 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 2

Respuesta :

The general equation of a circle is

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ \text{ Where (h,k) are the coordinates of the center and} \\ r\text{ is the radius of the circle} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, in this case, you have

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=2 \\ h=-3 \\ k=2 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} (x-(-3))^2+(y-2)^2=(2)^2 \\ (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation for this circle is

[tex](x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=4[/tex]

and the correct answer is option C.
