D: circle, radius of 2, center at (0,4)
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
6) (x+3)^2+y^2=9
Clearly, the center is at (-3,0) and the radius is 3.
That makes the polar form r = -6cosθ
7) assuming a typo, and you meant r = 8 sin7θ
then it is a rosette with an odd number of petals, and its axis of symmetry is the vertical axis (since r reaches a maximum at θ = 3π/2)
8) r=4 sinθ
has a radius of 2, with center at (0,2)
because we have
r^2 = 4rsinθ
x^2+y^2 = 4y
x^2 + (y-2)^2 = 4
6) (x+3)^2+y^2=9
Clearly, the center is at (-3,0) and the radius is 3.

8) r=4 sinθ
has a radius of 2, with center at (0,2)
because we have
r^2 = 4rsinθ
x^2+y^2 = 4y
x^2 + (y-2)^2 = 4
My apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Thank you for correcting me.
6) r = -6cosθ
7) Assuming the equation is actually r = 8sin(7θ), then it has symmetry about the polar axis (θ = 0) and also symmetry about the lines θ = π/7 and θ = 6π/7.
8) Circle, radius of 2, center at (0, 2).
