Greetings!Answer:The standard form equation is B.The centre of the circle is BThe radius is B.Step-by-step explanation:Firstly, the equation can all be divided by 7:(7x² + 7y²− 28x + 42y − 35)  ÷ 7 =x² + y² - 4x + 6y - 5 = 0x² - 4x + y² + 6y - 5 = 0Now add [tex]\frac{1}{2}* b[/tex]0.5 * 4 = 2, 2² = 4 so 40.5 * 6 = 3. 3² = 9 so 9(x² - 4x + 4) + (y² + 6y + 9) - 4 - 9 - 5 = 0As the standard form of a circle is (x - a)² + (y - b)²= r² , we need to change this to this. Simply find a number that multiplies to 4 and adds to -4 ( -2 ) and a number that multitplies to 9 and adds to 6 (3):(x - 2)² + (y + 3)²Also, we need to subtract the square of the number inside the brackets, as this is completing the square:-2 * -2 = 43 * 3 = 9So we need to subtract 4 and 9, and 5 as that was in the original:(x - 2)² + (y + 3)² - 4 - 9 - 5 = 0To find the radius, we need to move this numbers over to the other side making them positives:(x - 2)² + (y + 3)² = 4 + 9 + 5(x - 2)² + (y + 3)² = 18So the equation is B.The centre of the circle in (x - a)² + (y - b)² is [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex]So in this equation the centre is -2, 3. Which is B.The radius is the square root of whatever (x - a)² + (y - b)² equals, so the square root of 18 is the radius:√18 = √9√2 = 3√2= [tex]3 * (2x^{\frac{1}{2} } )[/tex] So your answer is B.
Hope this helps!
