Answer :

Answer:

  exterior

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know if (3, 2) is an interior or exterior point of the circle defined by (x -5)² +(y +3)² = 25.

Distance from center

We can find the square of the distance of the point from the center of the circle using the equation for the circle.

  (x -5)² +(y +3)² = r²

  (3 -5)² +(2 +3)² = 4 +25 = 29 > 25 . . . . use (x, y) = (3, 2) in the equation

The point is farther away from the center than points that are on the circle. The point (3, 2) is an exterior point.
