The circle is defined by the equation (x + 3) ^ 2 + (y-2) ^ 2 = 25. Specify the coordinates of the center of the circle.

To solve this task, you need to know the equation of the circle.

Circle equation: (x – xo) ^ 2 + (y – y0) ^ 2 = R ^ 2.

Where O (xo; yo) is the center of the circle, R is the radius of the circle.

Our equation is (x + 3) ^ 2 + (y – 2) ^ 2 = 25.

We need to find the ho and the ho.

x – xo = x + 3.

Subtract x from both sides.

– xo = 3.

Multiply both sides by (-1).

xo = -3.

y – yo = y – 2.

Subtract y from both parts.

-yo = -2.

Multiply both sides by (-1).

yo = 2.

The center of the circle at the point (- 3; 2).

Answer: Coordinates of the center at point (- 3; 2).
