Jamarcus Chapman · Answer 1

The equation, x^2+y^2=16 is an equation of the circle which is centered at (0,0), when the circle is moved 5 units to the right and 2 units down, this implies that the center will be at (5,-2)

the new equation will be:

(x-5) ^2 + (y+2) ^2=16

Answer: B] (x-5) ^2 + (y+2) ^2=16
