Where is the center of the graph of #(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=4#? Precalculus Translation and Rotation of Axis Translation of a Conic Section 1 Answer AJ Speller Sep 11, 2014 Standard form: #(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2# where #(h,k)# is the center of the circle and #r# is the radius of the circle The center of the circle is #(-3,2)#.
