Negin’s first step to prove that the point B(7,4) lies on the circle should be to use the distance formula to calculate the length of segment AB.

The distance formula will help determine if the distance from the center of circle A (4, 4) to point B (7, 4) is equal to the radius of the circle (3). If the distances match, then point B lies on the circle.
