Ailani draws a map of her local town. She places the town hall at the origin of a coordinate plane and represents a lake
with a circle drawn on the map. The center of the lake is 19 miles east and 3 miles south of the town hall, and the
radius of the lake is 0.5 miles.
If the positive x-axis represents east and the positive y-axis represents north, which equation represents the lake?
O (x + 19)2 + (y - 3)2 = 0.5
O (x – 19)2 + (y + 3)2 = 0.5
O (x + 19)2 + y - 3)2 = 0.25
O (x - 19)2 + ( + 3)2 = 0.25

The equation of the lake with a center 19 miles east and 3 miles south with radius of 0.5 miles is (x + 19)² + (y + 3)² = 0.25

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The equation for a circle is given as:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

The center of the lake is 19 miles east and 3 miles south, i.e. (-19, -3) and the radius is 0.5 miles.

The equation of the lake is:

(x - (-19))² + (y - (-3))² = 0.5²

(x + 19)² + (y + 3)² = 0.25

The equation of the lake with a center 19 miles east and 3 miles south with radius of 0.5 miles is (x + 19)² + (y + 3)² = 0.25

Answer: D.  [tex](x-19)^2+(y+3)^2=0.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's review what we know:

  • the lake is circular
  • the town hall is at the origin
  • the center of the lake is 19 miles east of the origin and
  • 3 miles south of it
  • the radius of the lake is 0.5 miles

A circle can be depicted on the coordinate plane with the equation [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)=r^2[/tex], where:

  • (h, k) is the center of the circle
  • and r is the radius of the circle

19 miles east of the origin would be 19 units to the right of the origin on the coordinate plane, as east is the rightwards direction in real life. In short, h = 19.

Let's plug in that value: [tex](x-(19))^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex].

So we know that the x-coordinate defining part of the equation would have to be [tex](x-19)^2[/tex].

Meanwhile, 3 miles south of the origin would be modeled as three units underneath it, because south would be considered "downwards". The y-value (k) would be negative 3.

Putting what we have so far together, the center of the circle would be (19, -3).

Therefore, the y-coordinate defining part of the equation would be [tex](y+3)^2[/tex].

Here's what the equation looks like with the work we've completed so far: [tex](x-19)^2+(y+3)^2=r^2[/tex]

Finally, let's plug in the radius value 0.5.

0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25

Ailani would use the equation [tex](x-19)^2+(y+3)^2=0.25[/tex] to model the lake in relation to the town hall. I hope that makes sense!
