Question 194701: Find the missing coordinate of the center of the circle with the given characteristics.
The center is (1,b), the radius is 3, and a point on the circle is (-2,0). Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Any point on a circle is equidistant from the center, and that distance is equal to the radius of the circle. That means the distance from (1,b) to (-2,0) must be equal to 3. Using the distance formula:
