Exploring the the Graph of a Circle
What happens to the circle when you change the value of h?
If you adjust the h slider to positive numebers, in what direction does the circle move?
If you move the h slider going to negative numbers, in what direction does it move?
When the slider for h increases from 0 to 4 (k and r fixed), the circle moves:
The value of h controls the:
What happens to the circle when you change the value of k?
If k is positive, in what direction does the circle move?
If k is negative, in what direction does it move?
If k changes from 3 to -2 (h and r fixed), the circle moves:
If k=−4 the center of the circle moves:
Which change will NOT affect the position of the center?
What happens when both h and k are positive?
What happens when both h and k are both negative?
What happens when r increases?
What happens when r decreases?
What would the graph look like if r = 0?
