Multiple Choice

A technician is verifying a computer-aided design (CAD) file that uses the equation 5x2+5y220x+10y15=0{}5x^2 + 5y^2 - 20x + 10y - 15 = 0 to define a circular part. To confirm that this equation represents a perfect circle, the technician must identify the specific requirement for the squared terms. According to the standard rule for circles, which characteristic of the coefficients for x2x^2 and y2y^2 confirms the shape is a circle?
