You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Plug the values into the left side of the equation %28x%2B1%29%5E2%2By%5E2
If the value is equal to 36, the point is on the circle.
If the value is less than 36, the point is inside the circle.
If the value is greater than 36, the point is outside the circle.
I'll do one, you do the other two.
%28x%2B1%29%5E2%2By%5E2=%28-1%2B1%29%5E2%2B%281%29%5E2=0%2B1=1 This point is inside the circle.
