Without writing the equation y+4 = (x - 2)in the standard form, state whether the graph of this equation is a parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola.

irrational, cannot

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
