Question
#### Graph Details:
- The graph displays a standard Cartesian coordinate system with labeled axes.
- The x-axis and y-axis both have a scale marked at intervals of 1.
- Circle B is centered at the point (3,-1) with a radius of 2 units.
To match Circle B to its equation, recall that the general form of the equation for a circle with center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) is:
\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]
Given:
- The center \((h, k)\) for Circle B is (3, -1).
- The radius \(r\) is 2 units.
Substituting these values into the equation form gives:
\[
(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 2^2
\]
\[
(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 4
\]
#### Answer Choices:
A. \((x - 3)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 4\)
B. \((x + 3)^2 - (y - 3)^2 = 4\)
C. \((x + 3)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 4\)
D. \((x - 3)^2 - (y + 3)^2 = 4\)
Comparing these choices with our derived equation \((x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 4\), none of the given options exactly match. The given options might likely have a typo or incorrect formatting.
However, to ensure accuracy in identifying what might have been intended, let's align closely and note the conceptual answer is:
\[
(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 4
\]
