Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, we are asked to complete the equation of the circle. Based on the diagram, we can extract some important information to do this.
-
Center of the Circle: The point , marked in the graph, is the center of the circle. From the grid, we can see that the coordinates of point are .
-
Radius of the Circle: By inspecting the distance from the center to the edge of the circle, we can count one unit horizontally or vertically to the edge of the circle, meaning the radius of the circle is .
Now, the standard equation of a circle with center and radius is:
Substituting the values for , , and , we get the equation:
Which simplifies to:
So, the completed equation of the circle is:
