Question:
The equation of the circle with center (1, -2) and radius 3 is:
A. (x-1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 9
B. (x+1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9
C. (x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 9
D. (x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 9
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: General equation of circle: (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.
Step 1: Center (h, k) = (1, -2), radius r = 3. Step 2: (x-1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 9.
Correct Answer: A
