Nathan drew a circle on a grid with a radius of 4 units and the point (2, -1) as its center. Which of the following pairs of coordinates represent points on the circle?
(4, 0) and (0, 4)
(8, -4) and (6, -3)
(2, 3) and (-1, -1)
(2, -5) and (6, -1)

Respuesta :

Answer:

(2, -5) and (6, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represent the coordinate of a circle is  

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

Where

(a, b) is the coordinate of the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle

The equation for the circle in this question will be:

(x-2)^2 + (y--1)^2 = 4^2

(x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 =16

You can put each option into the equation and find it it's true. The points that will fulfill the condition is (2, -5) and (6, -1).  The calculation for each point will be:

(x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 =16

(2-2)^2 + (-5+1)^2 =16

(0)^2 + (-4)^2 =16

16=16

true

(x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 =16

(6-2)^2 + (-1+1)^2 =16

(4)^2 + (0)^2 =16

16=16

true

The correct option is option (d).

Equation of the circle:

The formula for the equation of the circle with the radius [tex]r[/tex] at the center [tex](h,k)[/tex] is,

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

Given the radius of the circle is 4 units with the center [tex](2,-1)[/tex]

Now, substituting the given values into the above formula we get,

[tex](x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=16....(1)[/tex]

Now, satisfying the given points into the equation (1) we get,

[tex](2,-5)=(2-2)^2+(-5+1)^2=16\\(6,-1)=16+0=16[/tex]

So, the points are satisfying  to the equation (1) [tex](2, -5)\ and\ (6, -1)[/tex].
