The graph of the circle equation is graph (d)
How to determine the circle?
The equation is given as:
x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 9y -7 = 0
Rewrite as:
x^2 - 4x + y^2 + 9y = 7
Express (x^2 - 4x) and (y^2 + 9y) as perfect squares.
So, we have:
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 7 + 4 + 20.25
Evaluate the sum
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 31.25
A circle equation is represented as:
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Where
Center = (h, k)
Radius = r
So, we have:
(h, k) = (2, -3)
r^2 = 31.25
r = 5.5
The circle that has a center of (2, -3) and a radius of 5.5 is graph d
Hence, the graph of the circle equation is graph (d)
