Note: Your teacher will grade your response to this question to ensure you receive proper credit for your answer.
The equation (x + 6)2 + (y + 4)2 = 36 models the position and range of the source of a radio signal. Describe the position of the source and the range of the signals.
(3 points)
The position of the source of the radio signal is at the point (-6, -4) on the coordinate plane. This is because the equation of the circle represents all the points that are a distance of 6 units away from the x-coordinate of -6 and 4 units away from the y-coordinate of -4.
The range of the signals is represented by the circle with a radius of 6 units. This means that any point on the circle is 6 units away from the source point (-6, -4). This indicates that the range of the radio signals extends out to a distance of 6 units from the source point in all directions.
