Write an equation for the translation of x^2+y^2=25, by 8 units left and 4 units down.
Please help.
9 years later and this still goes unsolved…
This is hilarious
To translate the equation x^2 + y^2 = 25 by 8 units left and 4 units down, we need to adjust the x and y coordinates accordingly.
For the x-coordinate, we subtract 8 units to shift the equation left. For the y-coordinate, we subtract 4 units to shift the equation down.
The new coordinate pair would be (x-8, y-4).
Substituting this into the equation, we get (x-8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 25.
Therefore, the equation for the translated circle is (x-8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 25.
