The standard form of the equation of a circle with radius \( r \) and center \( (h, k) \) is given by \( (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 \). For your circle with \( r = 1 \) and center \( (0, -1) \), the equation becomes \( (x - 0)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 1^2 \), simplifying to \( x^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 1 \). In general form, you expand the standard form. Starting from \( x^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 1 \), we have \( x^2 + y^2 + 2y + 1 - 1 = 0 \) or simplified to \( x^2 + y^2 + 2y = 0 \). To graph this circle, plot the center at \( (0, -1) \) on the Cartesian plane. Since the radius is \( 1 \), draw a circle that reaches \( 1 \) unit up to \( (0, 0) \), down to \( (0, -2) \), left to \( (-1, -1) \), and right to \( (1, -1) \). Voila! You’ve got a circle!
