A circle has the equation (x - 3)2 + (y + 7)2 = 49. What is it's origin?
- 00:13
And here are your potential answers...
- 00:17
Okay, so this is just testing to see if we know the standard formula for a circle.
- 00:21
The formula of a circle is the quantity x minus h squared plus the quantity y minus

k squared equals r squared, where (h, k) is the origin. Ok... so we want to find h and k...
- 00:32
And it looks like h is 3... and k is negative 7...Why?
- 00:37
Because two negatives make a positive 7 in the equation.
- 00:40
Our origin is (3, -7). Looks like our answer is C.
