Question

What is the equation of the circle with center at (-3,2) and radius 5?
Options
A (x+3)² + (y-2)² = 25
Correct Answer
B (x-3)² + (y+2)² = 5
C x² + y² = 25
D x² - y² = 25
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius r is (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r². For center (-3,2) and radius 5, this gives (x+3)² + (y-2)² = 25.

Hint

The notes indicate answer A.
