state the domain and range of the relation if the graph is continuous ans is a circle whose centre is located at (-1, 12) and has a radius of 5 units?



(I don't need the answer I have that I just don't understand how to get the answer, please help)

answer is: D=-6<_ x <_4
R= 7<_ y <_ 17

(<_ the line is under the<)

A sketch would be of great help.

The centre is (-1, 12) and the radius is 5.

So, from the centre of the circle, you'll have the leftmost side at coordinates (-6, 12) and the rightmost coordinate (4, 12) right? That gives a domain of -6<_ x <_ 4.

You use the same logic for the range, but along the vertical.

Thanks you we had no sketches given for these that kind of where I got lost
