A circle is drawn on a coordinate plane with the center point at  (7,−2)  and a radius of 4. In the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem,  (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2 , which number would replace the variable h?(1 point)
h=

GPT-4o mini · Answer

In the standard form of the equation of a circle \((x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\), \(h\) represents the x-coordinate of the center of the circle.

Given that the center of the circle is at (7, -2), the x-coordinate (which corresponds to \(h\)) is 7.

Therefore, \(h = 7\).
