Find the equation of the circle with radius 8 and center (-5, -1) in standard form. A) (x - 5)² + (y - 1)² = 64 B) (x + 5)² + (y + 1)² = 8 C) (x + 5)² + (y + 1)² = 64 D) (x - 5)² + (y - 1)² = 8

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard form of a circle's equation is $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$, where $(h, k)$ is the center and $r$ is the radius. For a circle with center $(-5, -1)$ and radius $8$, the equation is $(x + 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 64$, matching choice C.
