The center is (-3,b), the radius is 5, and point on the circle is (2,-2). I found the missing coordinate counting squares but i want to do it algebraicly. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The center is (-3,b), the radius is 5, and point on the circle is (2,-2).
use distance formula
Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2
-3 b 2 -2
d=
d^2= ((-2-b)^2+(2-(-3))^2
25=4+4b+b^2+25
(b+2)^2=0
b=-2
