Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with center (8,−1) that passes through the point (6,7)

(x - 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 68

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of the circle with center (8,−1) is :

(x - 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = R^2

If the circle passes through the point (6,7) that means that the point (6,7) is a solution of the equation and we can replace (x,y) with (6,7) to find R.

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
