(x+3)2+(y−4)2=9A circle in the xy-plane has the equation shown. If the x-coordinate of a point on the circle is −3 , what is a possible corresponding y-coordinate?
Q. (x+3)2+(y−4)2=9A circle in the xy-plane has the equation shown. If the x-coordinate of a point on the circle is −3 , what is a possible corresponding y-coordinate?
Plug x=−3: Plug x=−3 into the equation to find the corresponding y-coordinate.(−3+3)2+(y−4)2=9
Simplify left side: Simplify the left side of the equation.(0)2+(y−4)2=9
Solve for (y−4): Solve for (y−4)2.(y−4)2=9
Take square root: Take the square root of both sides to solve for y−4.y−4=±3
Add 4 to solve: Add 4 to both sides to solve for y.y=4±3
Find possible values: Find the two possible values for y.y=4+3 or y=4−3y=7 or y=1
