what is the radius of X2+Y2- 8X + 6Y +9 =0?

P.S X2 and Y2 means x and y squared

Please if u know da answer explain it step by step thanks a lot :)

    First rearrange: x2 - 8x + y2 + 6y = -9

    Then complete the squares

    (x-4)2 + (y+3)2 = -9 + 16 + 9 = 16

    16 will be the radius squared, so the radius is 4 (and the center is (4, -3)).

    Step a million: collect x and y words separately. Step 2: comprehensive the sq.. x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 6y - 11 = 0 x^2 - 8x + y^2 + 6y - 11 = 0 (x^2 - 8x + sixteen - sixteen) + (y^2 + 6y + 9 - 9) - 11 = 0 (x^2 - 8x + sixteen) - sixteen + (y^2 + 6y + 9) - 9 - 11 = 0 (x - 4)^2 - sixteen + (y + 3)^2 - 9 - 11 = 0 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 - 36 = 0 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 36 So r^2 = 36. Then r = 6. B

    Okay, (8/2)^2 + (6/2)^2 - 9 needs to be added to both sides.

    So, that gives you x2+y2-8x+6y+9+16+9-9=16+9-9.

    And rearranging, x2-8x+16+y2+6y+9 = 16.

    Or (x-4)^2+(y+3)^2 = 16 = 4^2.

    So, the radius is 4.

    X^2+Y^2- 8X + 6Y +9 =0

    x^2-8x+16+y^2+6y+9-16-9+9=0

    (x-4)^2+(y+3)^2=4^2

    center at (4, -3) radius=4

    x^2+y^2-8x+6y+9=0

    x^2-(2*4)x+y^2+(2*3)y+9=0

    {x^2-16+16-(2*4)x}+{y^2+9-9(2*3)y}+9=0

    {(x-4)^2-16}+{(y+3)^2-9)+9=0

    (x-4)^2+(y+3)^2=16

    (x-4)^2+(y+3)^2=(4)^2

    since,general eq of circle is

    (x-rx)^2+(y-ry)=(r)^2

    where rx=x coordinate of circle &ry=y coordinate of circle

    and r=radius

    radius=4

    it's coordinates r=(4,-3)
