Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the center and radius of the circle

The given equation of the circle is \((x - 2)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 4\). This is in the standard form \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\), where \((h, k)\) is the center and \(r\) is the radius.

  • Center \((h, k)\): \((2, -4)\)
  • Radius \(r\): \(\sqrt{4} = 2\)
Step 2: Plot the center of the circle

On the given graph, locate the point \((2, -4)\) and mark it as the center of the circle.

Step 3: Draw the circle with the given radius

From the center \((2, -4)\), measure a distance of 2 units in all directions (up, down, left, right) and draw the circle passing through these points.

Final Answer

  • Center: \((2, -4)\)
  • Radius: \(2\)
  • Graph: Circle centered at \((2, -4)\) with radius 2 units.
