Math Problem Statement
The graph of a circle with center (x, y) = (3, 4) is shown below. Write the equation for the circle.
Solution
The equation of a circle with a center at and radius is given by:
Given:
- Center
So the equation becomes:
To complete the equation, we need the radius . If you have information about the radius or a point on the circle, please provide it. Otherwise, the general form is as shown above.
