Question

The equation of a circle with center (-3,2) and radius 4 is:
Options
A (x+3)² + (y-2)² = 16
Correct Answer
B (x-3)² + (y+2)² = 8
C (x+3)² + (y+2)² = 16
D (x-3)² + (y-2)² = 16
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For center (-3,2), a = -3 and b = 2, so the equation is (x - (-3))² + (y - 2)² = 4², which simplifies to (x+3)² + (y-2)² = 16.

Hint

The notes provide this answer.
