Find the equation of a circle with centre (2, -3) and radius 2 units.

A.

x2+y24x+6y+9=0

B.

x2+y2+4x6y9=0

C.

x2+y2+4x+6y9=0

D.

x2+y2+4x6y+9=0

Correct answer is A

The equation of a circle with centre coordinate (a, b) and radius r is :

(xa)2+(yb)2=r2

Given centre = (2, -3) and radius r = 2 units

Equation = (x2)2+(y(3))2=22

x24x+4+y2+6y+9=4

x2+y24x+6y+4+94=0x2+y24x+6y+9=0
