The center is (-3,b), the radius is 5, and point on the circle is (2,-2). \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "use distance formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distance between two points
\n" ); document.write( "x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-3 b 2 -2
\n" ); document.write( "d= \"sqrt%28%28y2-y1%29%5E2%2B%28x2-x1%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "d^2= ((-2-b)^2+(2-(-3))^2
\n" ); document.write( "25=4+4b+b^2+25\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(b+2)^2=0
\n" ); document.write( "b=-2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
