(x−2)2+(y−8)2=2
left parenthesis x minus 2 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis y minus 8 right parenthesis squared equals 2

(x+8)2+(y+2)2=4
left parenthesis x plus 8 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis y plus 2 right parenthesis squared equals 4

(x−8)2+(y−2)2=4
left parenthesis x minus 8 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis y minus 2 right parenthesis squared equals 4

(x+2)2+(y+8)2=2

Answer 1

To derive the equation of a circle in standard form given the center and radius, we use the formula:

\[ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 \]

where \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is the radius.

Given:

• The center of the circle is \((-8, -2)\), which means \(h = -8\) and \(k = -2\).
• The radius \(r = 2\).

Now we can plug these values into the equation:

\[ (x - (-8))^2 + (y - (-2))^2 = 2^2 \] \[ (x + 8)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4 \]

So, the equation of the circle in standard form is

\[ (x + 8)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4 \]

The correct response is:

\((x + 8)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4\)
