In the xy-plane, the point (-2, -3) is the center of a circle. The point (-2, 1) lies inside the circle and the point (4, -3) lies outside the circle. If the radius r of the circle is an integer, then r =
A. 6
B. 5
C. 4
D. 3
E. 2
The OA given is B.
I haven't a clue to this. Could anyone help.
Thanks

Centre is O (-2,-3) . Pt A (-2,1) is inside the circle. Dist OA is 4 - y coordianates ( -3 to 1) x coordiantes are same. The radius is > 4
Pt B (4,-3) so OB is 6 ( -2 to 4) , here y coordinate is - 3.
The radius is < 6.
The radius is an integer.
Left with no options other than B.
