The general equation of a circle is (x-h)²+(y-k)² = r². The equation of circle A is (x+4)²+(y+2)²=9.
What is the equation of a circle?
The general equation of a circle is given as,
(x-h)²+(y-k)² = r²
Where (h,k) is the coordinate of the centre of the circle, and r is the radius of the circle,
Given that the four points that lie on the circle are (-4,1), (-1,-2), (-4, -5) and (-7,-2), and also the centre of the circle is at (-4,-2). Therefore, the radius of the circle will be the distance between the centre of the circle and any point lying on the circle.
[tex]\rm \text{Radius of the circle} = \sqrt{[(-4)-(-4)]^2+[(-2)-(1)]^2}\\\\\text{Radius of the circle} = \sqrt{(0)^2+(-3)^2}\\\\\text{Radius of the circle} = 3\ units[/tex]
Since the coordinate of the centre point of the circle is (-4,-2), while the radius of the circle is 3 units, therefore, the equation of the circle can be written as,
[tex][x-(-4)]^2+[y-(-2)]^2 = 3^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2 = 3^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2 = 9[/tex]
Hence, the equation of circle A is (x+4)²+(y+2)²=9.
