Which equations represent circles that have a diameter of 12 units and a center that lies on the y-axis? Select two options.

x2 + (y – 3)2 = 36
x2 + (y – 5)2 = 6
(x – 4)² + y² = 36
(x + 6)² + y² = 144
x2 + (y + 8)2 = 36

Respuesta :

From the given options A and option D are the possible equations will be;

                x² + (y – 3)² = 36

      or,      x² + (y + 8)² = 36

What is Circle?

A circle is a round 2-dimensional shape. It is a closed shape with a distance from center to circumference termed as radius 'r' and distance from one point on the circumference to another point passing through center termed as diameter 'd'.

Here, General equation of circle

   (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

where, (a, b) are the coordinates of center

           and r is the radius of circle.

Now, given data; Diameter = 12 units

                                 Radius  = 6 units

center lies on y-axis so coordinates will be (0, b)

   Equation of given circle

                    x² + (y - b)² = 6²

                     x² + (y - b) = 36

where, b may be any value on y-axis.

Thus, from the given options A and option D are the possible equations will be;

                x² + (y – 3)² = 36

      or,      x² + (y + 8)² = 36
