Problem 50
Textbook Question
Concept Check Match each equation in Column I with its graph in Column II. I II 47. A. 48. B. 49. C. 50. (x + 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25 D.
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the type of equation given in Column I. The equation \( (x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25 \) represents a circle because it is in the standard form of a circle equation \( (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 \).
Step 2: From the equation \( (x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25 \), determine the center and radius of the circle. The center is at \( (-3, -2) \) and the radius is \( \sqrt{25} = 5 \).
Step 3: Examine the graphs in Column II and look for the graph that shows a circle centered at \( (-3, -2) \) with radius 5. This graph will match the equation given.
Step 4: For the other equations in Column I (A, B, C), identify their types (e.g., lines, parabolas, ellipses, etc.) by analyzing their algebraic form and compare with the graphs in Column II to find the correct matches.
Step 5: Match each equation with its corresponding graph by verifying key features such as intercepts, vertex, center, radius, or slope, depending on the type of equation.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Equation of a Circle
The equation (x + h)² + (y + k)² = r² represents a circle centered at (-h, -k) with radius r. Understanding this form helps identify the circle's position and size on the coordinate plane, which is essential for matching equations to their graphs.
